If it is a small hernia, it says it may heal on it's own or you can have it repaired when she is spayed. By the way, they say never to breed a dog that has one or has had one because it can be hereditary. Here is the website: http.//www.cpvh. com/Articles/ 57.html Hope this helps!

I have had experience with human hernias with my mom. They can get worse. I would get a second vet in on this one. Just my thought on the matter.
