Pet Abdominal Hernia Repair Surgery
About Our Pet Abdominal Hernia Repair Surgery Services
An abdominal hernia occurs when tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall, causing a series of health issues. Hernias come in various forms, such as umbilical and inguinal hernias. While not fully understood, certain factors like genetics and breed predispose some pets to hernias. Obesity is another risk factor, with overweight pets being more prone to developing hernias.
Symptoms of hernias vary depending on where the hernia is located. If the hernia is located in the diaphragm, the pet can be observed having breathing difficulties. Hernias can also present as bulges or swelling that can be observed in the abdomen.
Bayshore Veterinary Hospital takes a thorough approach to diagnosing hernias. First, one of our experienced vets will examine the swollen area by feeling the bulge beneath the skin. In some cases, we also use imaging tools like X-rays to get a clearer view of the swelling or protrusion and better understand what's happening beneath the surface.
