Pregnant Dog has Hernia with Pup

[bigdonkeys]

Hi, my cavalier is 5 weeks pregnant, she has a lump growing by her back rear teat, the vet thought this was a hernia and could be managed until after the birth.

After another examination yesterday, it turns out the reason the lump is getting bigger and harder is that it's a pup growing outside of her inner body, and has popped out through the hernia.

My vet say's he has never seen this before, and he is one of the top vets.

She is booked in for an op on monday to try and push the pup back in where it should be. But this is not without risk.

Anyone heard of this?

Thanks

No - I used to breed cats and I have never ever heard of it.... I think it sounds like they have a good plan to get it sorted though?

What an absolute worry for you!
