New pup w/ inguinal hernia, finally home.

I went to pickup my pup from the vet/breeder health check today. I was very excited to take him home. The vet said that he has an inguinal (spelling??) hernia. It is slightly visible on his lower left side on his inner stomache. I was given the option to take another pup when she gets one ect.. I know that these are fairly common in female dogs, but happen in males too. We worked out a solution, and I took Cheez-it home in spite of his issue. He seems to be doing great, he went through cycles of hyper for 2 hours to sleepy for 2 hours all day long. The drive from Orlando to Jax was long, it was during his hyper cycle, I had to fight to keep him in his box until he fell asleep. I absolutely love him, and I really hope that the hernia can be "pushed" back easily enough when he gets neutered. I have my Vet appt. Monday, we'll see what happens. Anyone else have any experience with this?

Here is the video! I took some pictures when I got home but he must be camera shy.

I have noticed that his batwing ears allow him to hear me trying to stealthly open a can of soda while he slept. He popped right up into the playful phase. It's so cute, I think he does it on purpose so when I let him out to play he can practice his algebra on my carpet. He dabbles mainly with 1's and 2's.

James, congratulations on having the new little guy home. He seems to be a perfect fit for you. From your video it kooks like he will be a spoiled little guy! This, of course, is your obligation as a Corgi owner! Good luck with it all. I haven't had any experience with the hernia issue. I think it is good you got the information from the vet and breeder--no surprises. Keep us updated. I am looking forward to seeing howhe develops.
