Symptoms of Cat Hernia

Cat hernias mainly include umbilical hernia, traumatic abdominal wall hernia, inguinal hernia, and perineal hernia. The most direct external manifestation is the appearance of a bulging meat bag, with the exception of diaphragmatic hernia. In the early stage of most hernias, there will be no pain, and some hernia contents can return to their original positions, thus not causing tissue or organ dysfunction. It is recommended that owners take their cats to the hospital for inspection as soon as they discover a hernia, to determine whether surgical repair of the hernia site is necessary, so as not to delay the condition and cause secondary diseases.
