My puppy has a hernia. He was born with it. It does not affect him in any way. The Vet said if the hernia is soft when you feel it, it doesn't even have to be removed. If it is hard, then it does.
It is located on his stomach.
If your dog is dragging himself I don't think it has anything to do with a hernia. It is much more serious than that. Why do you have a 3 week puppy?
Call your Vet immediately................You have a major problem.

Very occasional you will find a puppy with an inguinal hernia. This is a lump that you will find in the groin which is tucked in near the puppies back legs. They are easiest to feel when the puppy is standing up on its back legs. These are a problem and you should consult the vet as they will need to be repaired.

Please take your dog to the vet as soon as possible.
I’m not sure a hernia would have anything to do with the puppy not being able to use its back feet. My dog had a hernia when we got her she was only 3 months old, they were able to fix it via surgery. There could be something wrong with your dogs back
You may have to get a K9 Kart its like a dog wheel chair

Get the pup to the vet immediately. He could have a spinal problem. A hernia is usually at the belly button and should not effect his back legs. See the vet.

We (Christians) stand on the Bible, where as the Catholic Church stands on traditions it has invented in order to make the difficult parts of the Scriptures "tolerable". So, the Catholic Church is no different than the Mormons, the Seventh Day Adventists, or the Jehovah's Witnesses; they are all cults. They have all substituted a works based righteousness in order to avoid the humiliation inherent in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

My neighbors puppy did the same thing.. turned out he had meningitis. I was costly to treat him, but the sickness would have killed him. You should see a vet soon!
