| Puppies have a Small bump next to back leg hey guys, we have three 5 week old puppies and I have noticed that two of them have a small bump size of a marble next to one of their back legs on the stomache part on the left side, it's not a hard bump, it kinda rolls around, its not painful when I push on it they don't cry or whimper....just thought I would ask, they have a appointment tomorrow at the vet for their shots but maybe if anyone heard anything like this....hmm, I hope its not anything bad....

| Update.... ok so we went and got their shots today and found out what the bump was and sure enough it is a hernia....so two of the 3 pups have it....I was informed that they should not be bred so I am getting them spayed at the same time of the hernia surgery which they told me I had to wait until they were at least 5 1/2 to 6 months old....and it's going to cost me a whopping $809.50 for 2 dogs hernia surgery and 3 spaying.....I guess the saying goes....When it rains it Pours! I love my babies so much!!!!! |

| That's too bad that it will be so costly. Are you selling the pups? If so, you can make your money back. I think it's great that you are doing the responsible thing and having them spayed and the hernia surgeries done. Good for you.

| I know that is a chunk of money but its really a great deal for 3 dogs. Are you keeping your pups. Good luck with the surgery.... |
