We think it is congenital. I don't know of anything she's gone through
since I had her that would cause trauma resulting in a hernia. I've seen
her take some big leaps and fly across the room to land awkwardly on
something, but I don't think those had that kind of impact.
I'm going to talk to
Are you close to a veterinary school? They might be better able to come up
with an answer. I have gone to Missouri University, a 3 hour drive, but worth

It's very tough. Surgeon is ready to go, and one vet says, Be careful.
Most of what I've read seems to indicate that the surgery is *usually*

Hi Lance,
I have not had experience with congenital hernias - but I would be concerned
since Ember is FelV+
You might want to check back with her 2 vets about using anesthesia putting

Hi Kat,
That's good advice. As far as I know, Ember has done well with anesthesia.
She's had two dentals in the last three years, and she was anesthetized for the

Thank you for your thoughts, Margo. Yes, surgery is stressful, and it could
