Question
Morning silva

about 1 1/2 years ago my neighbor found a English sheppard and put him in my yard (to only find him a home) which he did mine :) we do not know his history but have been told by the vet that he has been fixed.  just 3 nights ago "soldier" was getting his nightly massage and loving and i went to his   back legs and he could not lift them and i noticed that he had swollen down into his male area and it looked like he had never been fixed he then got off my bed and could hardly walk after loving him more he then started running around and acting normal.  It looks likes his gentials are there and swell and then go down.  I am really confused.  I have been told it is a hernia then a tumor.  i will go and see my vet on tues but i am really scared how much this is going to cost.  thanks for your help

Answer
Hi Stephanie
I did answer your question last week, but for some reason it did not go through.  I can not really suggest anything until you have been to the vet and had a proper assessment done of the condition.  Only then can we look at ways to treating what may be present.  Get your vet to advise you on what is going on.  I am then more than happy to suggest alternatives for you if appropriate.
Many thanks again,
Silva.
