joy has a hernia

[micki]

Yesterday i found a lump on her lower adomen, It pushed back in. I was very gentle and she didn't cry. My vet is going to fix the hernia and Joy at the same time. This couldn't have happened at a worse time for us.

Sorry to hear Joy has a hernia, micki. Mara had an umbilical hernia that she had fixed while she was spayed....she had no problems!!
Hope Joy is alright!!

Oh Micki I was hoping it wasn't a hernia. I love Joy I wish it weren't such a trying time for you. You're in my thoughts.

So sorry about the hernias but it is operable and it is considered a pretty benin operation cos they do these,quite often while neutering a dog!!.
Please keep us posted,L

OMG - I am so sorry to hear this Micki. I hope she will be OK. Let us know how she is doing when you have a chance!

God bless you and Joy!

She is fine we haven't gone for the surgery yet, with my dad's funeral and all. My vet Jen said as long as she is not in pain and the hernia easily goes back in it can wait a few days. Joy is in heat almost finished so we are trying to wait to make it safer for her for the surgery. and since she is in heat she has been crated which helps her not to stress the hernia.
But I need doggie valium for the boys and me so i don't choke them lol

So sorry about Joy I'm sure she will be just fine after her operation. Take care of yourself, it sounds as if you have had some very stressful things in your life lately.

I have an appt for tomorrow to set up the surgery on Joy, she is fine acting normal but the hernia just pops out all the time it will go back but only if i put it back . I hope it is over soon before she has any trouble with it
