Our "diagnosis"

Today, we went to our vet appointment to determine whether or not the puppy has a hernia. Well...she is still too young to tell if she has a true hernia. :( However the vet did show me how to check for one and it does appear that there is the slight possibility that it is a hernia. The vet said to push on her stomach and if something pops up it is the hernia. Guess what? He pushed on her stomach and something popped up. My gut feeling is telling me that yes that little bump there is indeed an inguinal hernia. Poor thing. :( He just said to keep an eye on it and he will check again come her 8 week checkup. Good news is that it can be repaired and that it isn't too expensive. It will be around $200-250 for a spay and inguinal hernia repair. Time to start saving up money...
