This afternoon she started acting strange...having difficulty breathing, vomiting. I rushed her to my vet an hour away and after he examined her he told me that she had a diaphragmatic hernia. My heart is broken...doc informed me the only solution is surgery which will cost approximately $1000.00. My only income is Social Security Disability. I am devasted at the thought of losing my pet and friend. I sincerely hope that no else has to go through this. -------- View all personal experiences on Diaphragmatic Hernia If you want to share information on a different disease, select a disease from A to Z - Click Here - Diseases A to Z Remember, this information is for reference only.
