My dog has 2 little lumps on the lower side bottom stomach . It doesn't hurt her and she acts normal but they're just large and never seen that before on a puppy

I am about to purchase an 8 week old mini bernedoodle, but she has a small inguinal hernia. The vet says it may go on it's own, but the breeder has offered to fix the hernia before I purchase her. Is this something I should worry about? I want to make sure I cover all my bases before making the decision to purchase the dog. Is there any risk of the hernia reoccurring or are there any secondary effects from the surgery?

I have. 5 year old cockerspaniel . We got her 2 years ago from another breeder who had gave us vet records to say she was clear of any health issues etc . Bred her and she developed a inguinal hernia . Lucky she failed to get pregnant and we had it repaired ASAP . Vet didn’t spay as she said she would be fine . We’ve just mated her again 3 weeks ago and what do you know ? The hernia is back again in the same spot .. what happens if she’s pregnant ?

I’m very concerned for my dog. He has a hernia right by his butt, it’s almost the size of a limon. I know it’s a hernia because I took him to the vet about a month ago and they did blood tests and X-rays on him and they said it was a hernia. I don’t know what to do because the vet told me the surgery would cost about 2,000 to 3,000 dollars to get it done and I don’t have that kind of money but I’m so scared for him and worried. They also told me if I get it done there’s a chance he might not make it through the surgery, but i still don’t want him in pain.. what is best to do, please help me... breaks my heart to think I’d maybe have to take him down.. :( help!!

Hi there, my dog mia is really old but full of life and I noticed she had a lump in between her legs, she went to get some vaccines and the vet told me it could be a inguinal hernia, I’ve done research on it and I think it is but she hasn’t had any symptoms and it doesn’t seem to be bothering her at all, I can move it around a little but it’s about the size of a little bouncy ball, should I get surgery for her on it?

Hello, I have a French bulldog Male that’s about 2 yrs old. My vet just told me that he has an inguinal hernia. The vet mentioned that there’s different reasons why he got the hernia. We were intending on breeding him. How can I determine if this was inherited or caused by trauma? The vet mentioned I should neuter him just in case it was inherited and to refrain from passing along the defect.

Hi there, I am 10 days away from going to pick up my female french bulldog puppy from a breeder. I just found out that last week she had surgery for a Bilateral Inguinal Hernia. It is fixed now and the breeder says she is doing well. This gave me cause for concern, so I called a local vet here in Denver. She, after doing some research, advised me against buying the puppy because she may have a lot of health issues in the future, and she said in 10 years she has never seen this type of hernia in a small puppy. Thoughts? I am already in love with her from all of the pictures and videos - but I also am single and have a bit of a fixed income, so signing up to buy a dog who is going to have a lot of health problems may not be the smartest idea. Would love a second opinion.

Just found out that my puppy has bilateral inguinal hernias. She's a European Doberman, 5 weeks old. Her breeder took her to the vet as soon as she noticed it. The note she sent me from her vet read, "The pup has bilateral inguinal hernias, mild, but L>>>R probably will resolve with age. Best guess is by 4 months. Plan: Recheck at every vaccine." Is it possible for an inguinal hernia to self resolve? I keep reading conflicting reports. She is currently showing no signs or symptoms of adverse effects regarding the hernia other than a small bleb that the breeder frequently checks and pushes back in. I plan on correcting/addressing her hernia complication when she is spayed.

I am looking for advice for a dog with multiple hernias (Perineal and Inguinal). Cooper is my boyfriends older Boston terrier who he has owned for over 8 years. About 4 or 5 years ago Cooper developed a Inguinal hernia and a Perineal hernia that were diagnosed about two years ago with recommendation for surgery (to correct both), but with a large recovery time and a small success rate and a large cost my boyfriend decided to monitor his condition and manage on his own (This I did not agree with). I have been dating my boyfriend for a little less than a year, but I have known about the condition of the dog for a little while longer. The hernias do not seem to bother him (Pain wise), although the perineal hernia does not allow Cooper to pass feces on his own. We have to manually force the feces out when he tries to use the restroom, but that is not my main concern as it does not cause pain or discomfort to Cooper as long as he is able to pass feces on a regular basis. The Inguinal hernia is growing as we have just moved into a 3rd floor apartment and although my boyfriend is worried about surgery on such an old dog, I am concerned that the hernia is going to grow and eventually prove to be life threatening (if it isn't already). I have always been the type to believe that the best course of action is just to take the dog to the vet, have him assessed, and make a plan according to what they find, but my boyfriend doesn't agree, especially if it is surgery, since Cooper is getting old. I just have grown attached to the poor pup and want to make sure we are doing all we can for him. Thank you for any helpful advice.
