Hi, This happens all the time with our Cardigan puppies. Many vets can't tell the difference between fat deposits and a hernia. We always get our vet to write on the puppie's health certificate " fat deposit or hernia in groin area". and we guarentee money back if it turns out to be a hernia. Which it never has yet.
