I sold a puppy a few weeks ago. I had him examined by my vet several times
and the new owner had him to her vet when she brought him home - the puppy
was healthy, happy and nothing was noted. Last week she took him for his
fourth set of shots (he is now 3 months old) and the vet found an umbilical
hernia. They want to schedule him for surgery. I believe he is too young to
be
traumatized by surgery that may not be necessary. The owner is worried and
wants to do the right thing. Any thoughts out there? I'd like to hear your
collective opinions.
I also never worry about Umbilical hernia's. The only thing that concerns me
here is the puppy did not seem to have it before and suddenly he does? I
have never heard of that. My thoughts are it must have been missed. If it is
small I just would leave it alone and keep an eye on it. Rarely are they a
problem.
