Please note that I "DO NOT" repair Inguinal Hernias or Umbilical Hernias, as they are not considered life threatening. WHY you ask...
A puppy must be sedated and a 1-3 inches incision must be made in order for my vet to do the repair, this is very, very stressful for a 1-2 lb puppy. The recovery time is about 1 week. (They will be very groggy, stagger for hours, unable to drink or eat for 5-6 hours(or longer) after surgery, be very disoriented and confused..It's very sad to have to watch a 1-2 lb baby in this condition)
This is not a condition that happen's very often but does occur. I want anyone that is looking to purchase a puppy through apuppytrack to be aware that I "will not" put any puppy under the stress of a "non-life threatening condition." Settling into his/her new home is stressful enough with the added stress of being sedated, and having a non life threatening surgery performed the previous week.
