Umbillical Hernia

Question:

I’ve had one for about 15 years now. Never regretted a minute of it.  And my wife hasn’t noticed any change in the quality or consistency of my farts. Lenny

I seem row have a lot more questions NOW tan when I was at the vets..Can anyone out there shed any light on this condition..how serious is it..what the iperation involves..post op care,etc? many thanks, michael It really isn’t that big of a deal. Our Freya had one when she was little (the foster parent told us it was just her bellybutton when we asked about it). Vet told us to get it repaired when she was spayed, so we had her with it for about 4 months.  The only problem she had with it was very a lot of very stinky farts (especially any time we picked her up). Keep an eye on it- if it gets a lot bigger, take her in to the vet, or if it appears to be bothering her. Otherwise, don’t worry about it, just get her spayed at 6months (or whatever your vet recommends). It’ll add on a little bit of money to the bill for spaying, but that’s it- stitches, recovery and all will be the same.

I had an umbillical hernia repair as an adult and I can tell you that although it’s painful, it does heal very quickly..within a week I was up and about.  It is not as painful or the same as a traditional hernia repair. I would think that if they do your kittens during the spay/neuter she should be fine…she would heal from both surgeries at the same time.  An umbillical hernia is when the bellybutton doesn’t close after birth…apparently mine stayed open for 35 years without a problem.
