23 Jan 2015. Two cases of perinal hernias in 2 male dogs were operated by Dr Daniel at Toa Payoh Vets. The case studies are presented. An enlarged prostate herniated in the Pomeranian is rarely seen. This Pom's blood test showed no leucocytosis and therefore no bacteraemia. The prostate was not infected as the dog could pee normally and had no blood in the urine. This is a condition of a benign prostatic hyperplasia in the Pom.   

Both old male dogs are NOT neutered and fit the typical profile of perineal hernia happening in mainly older male not castrated. 

In the white mini-maltese, the bladder herniated but the prostate was normal. 

Surgery to repair the hernia is discussed.  Hernias do recur. Early detection and treatment is advised.
