If you touch the cat's abdomen directly with your hands, you can feel a soft small bag. The soft bag can be pressed back into the belly, and you can also feel the edge of the hernia hole, which is a small hole. There is also a lump in the groin area that is painful to touch. In addition, you can also observe the cat's performance, because hernia will be very painful, and the cat will have symptoms such as lying on its side, whining, and abnormal defecation.

Expert tip:

If it is determined that the cat has a hernia and it is inconvenient to undergo surgery, it is recommended to use a hernia patch, which has the effect of converging and retracting the hernia content. Hernia prolapse can be stopped in a short time. If conditions permit, get the No. 15 vaccine first before surgery to avoid contracting cat plague due to weakened immunity.
