I just noticed tonight that my 2 month old holstein calf has a hernia right by the navel. It is still really soft and will push back up into the hole. The hole in the abdominal wall is about 3/4 inch. The hernia on the outside is already about 1+ inch in diameter and fairly round.
From what I've read on the board, the only answer is surgery and should be done rather quickly. Any other insights or suggestions. He is weaned and very healthy besides the hernia. I think it is worth the cost of the surgery... any estimates on the cost of the surgery???
