Has anyone dealt with a hernia in an older bitch?  This is a nine year old 
Corgi.  We noticed the lump a couple of days ago, and tonight we realized that 
it must be a hernia.  When she's standing up, the mass fills my hand, but when 
I roll her over, it goes back inside.  I *think* the hole is about quarter to 
half dollar sized; I was fairly freaked out to find it.  

Is the repair complicated?  Should I ask for a spay at the same time?  All of 
this I'll ask our vet tomorrow, but I thought it might be useful to ask Dog 
People with more experience than I might have!
