So my dog had a small bulge in his inner thigh area but I didn't worry about it much since it pretty much dissappeared but now recently I've noticed that it has started to grow and now is about an inch in diameter....I think it might be an umbilical hernia, I heard that when hernias start to grow it usually means that the air supply of that area of the intestine has been cut off and it requires a vet visit ASAP..

My question is this,

How much would surgery to repair a hernia on a dog cost me?

I have no idea, but I'm really sorry. I value canine life more than most human life, so whatever it costs, I hope you'll be able to afford it.

I had a dog that had one of these. It's not really a big deal. The vet removed it when she was getting fixed and it ran an extra 70 bucks or so.
