Gin 498 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I ordered a Border pup off a good breeder to go to Ireland, pick of litter,- but when i went for the pup i was told you can't have it, as its got a hernia ( same type ), so second choice went to Ireland. I asked the breeder what he was going to do with the original pup, he said knock it on the head i can't sell it, so i offered him £50 for it. At six months old i took it to the vet to have the hernia repaired but the vet could find no hernia by then. The vet said its quite common to see in young pups what looks like a hernia but isn't really,- its often the way the mother picks up the pups and pulls on the stomach wall, which repairs itself given time. So i'd perhaps get another vet to look at it pal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

socks 32,253 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 there are 3 different types of hernia ... umbilical ... inguinal .... and diaphragmatic ... umbilical are genetic and passed down through pups ... the reason you shouldnt breed from these pups is because unlike the other 2 hernias the umbilical one has to be surgicaly repaired and can cause complications if the pup is a bitch and she is bred later on in life ... she/he will also pass this on to futer pups they sire/birth ........
