Thanks HDM, I have my list ready for order.
Honey went to vet and he believes he has Perineal Hernia. It wasn’t swollen while there…and wants
me to bring him back anytime that I see it swollen. He’s only seen this 4 times in 20 yrs.
I’m to give Miralax as a stool softener.

From what I’ve read – said most common in unneutered males ( Honey is fixed) and never mentioned Chihuahua’s, but Boston Terriers, Collies, Boxers & Pekingese.
Said it could require surgery…but he doesn’t do it. Makes me nervous as I don’t trust anyone else.
Any info. anyone can give…I appreciate.
I’ll know more – when I take him back so he can better look while it’s swollen.
