[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 563484, member: 852"] Maybe, maybe not. It's not an obvious "yes". I'd guess it's not, but I couldn't say for sure without touching it. Get your hands on him and feel the area... a hernia has a definite hole in the abdominal wall that you can feel the edges of, and generally you can push the intestines back through the hole. Here's a 2 month old bull calf with a hernia: [img]http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n465/IdahoLabs/311scalf_hernia.jpg[/img] Not the best pic, but note the area in front of his sheath -- and how it appears swollen and "full" due to the intestines poking through the abdominal wall.
