[Jacob-list] Ewe with hernia

[Kate Barrett]

Hi:
I have a yearling ewe who has a "four finger" hernia. I have never had this
happen before.  I am thinking it could be a horn injury. It is in the
midsection of her anterior abdominal area. Vet says hernia surgery would be
$400 or more, and I could never breed her. I really like this ewe of
course:)  What are the chances it will heal over, or will it progress and
continue to grow?  I hate to cull her, but doesn't look promising. Any
advice would be appreciated.
