Thread: Advice please

A hernia should make no difference at all,basically all they are doing is suturing up the very small hole that could have at some time become a problem if the "innards had come through" & got strangulated.I think the vet is making a big thing out of nothing at the moment like others have said,just as you say a bit of a worry when vet in question should know more about the breed as he has one himself.They do all tend to differ though,Pansy P eats well & has a super trim figure,her brother Bruce eats little & as expected trim figure no undercarriage hanging,Merlyn is a pig hence a very careful watch on his diet because by the age of three it was obvious he had big weight problems,thats was when we packed up leaving food down all day for them & that was mostly wet, he lost a good kg but can still look rotunded in the belly when he walks but after a bath or if you hold the furr down he looks fine, he has got "boobies"though,had them from quite an early age & think they will always be there,Wellynton Boots eats for England,has his own & then everyone elses that he can get,he is small,slim & taut undercarriage his brother Shimba eats very little,rarely even wants brekkie now , loses half of his "small" supper to bruv Welly but he is big boned,big in stature but worse of all he has got jelly belly underneath,now where has that come from,he should be the smallest undernourished bag of bones MC ever,no reasoning to any of it,what I do try & get Merl & Shims to do though is chase the laser beam up the wall,I think if they stretch upwards it just might help tighten the flab underneath,perhaps could see if they could manage sit ups & press ups as well,might help a bit as long as mum is not expected to show them how....!
Don't worry at the moment Harrymc,sounds like normal weight gain for his age,he most probaly will start slowing up a bit now anyway but he will still have growth & weight spurts,you are aware just keep an eye on things but like us they all tend to differ a bit on the "figure front"....x
