Poor Willow! A lot of dogs recover fully after having diaphragmatic hernia surgery but it really depends on her current condition and if she has any other injuries. Your vet should be able to give you a better idea of her prognosis. Surgery should be done as soon as possible. Hope she recovers quickly.
