Thanks for that input. Dog has had surgery now and so far so good.

Treated one surgically recently. Bled intermittently for around 10 days post-op. Tardak was given at the time of dx as owner refused castration. Dog was an absolute spanner and we had to sedate it with ACP constantly for around 5 days to stop the bleeding.

the surgery itself was simple, but it certainly created some headaches. Apparently most do need Sx though. There are apparently reports of a newish pexy technique which might be worth looking for - I couldn;t find it myself.

We had one went to RVC for surgery. You could maybe call them and ask for advice? Recovered fine and no problems since - same breed, slightly younger.

I've only seen one and we replaced it and placed a purse string suture. I think we had to do it twice and so we castrated the dog which seemed to prevent future problems. it was a bit older than yours I seem to remember though it was a couple of years ago.
