We just bought a border collie puppy. I think she has a hernia/inguinal hernia. What should we do?

Have the veterinarian check this swelling at her next office visit. Generally a hernia is surgically repaired during the spay. Large hernias may have exercise restrictions. Your veterinarian will best advise you after palpating the area.
