Cookie's Hernia operation
You may remember us telling you in a previous post about Cookie and her Hernia. Well today was the big day! Our vet Fiona decided to spey her and fix the hernia at the same time in an opertaion lasting about an hour. We split her from her kittens yesterday to give her a night on her own, and she loved having a bed all to herself!
As this was such an interesting case, Fiona let us come and have a quick look at the hole that the Hernia was protruding out from, and we managed to take a picture of it! The hole itself was very small, and we were all so surprised at the amount of her intestines sticking out from it. To fix it back in place, Fiona had to make the hole slightly bigger, so she cut it open a bit more making space to put everything back in place. After the Hernia was fixed, it was time to go ahead and do the spey, and then sew her back up!
