How much does umbilical hernia surgery for a horse cost?
Typically, umbilical hernia surgery is performed on young foals, before the hernia has had a chance to become too large or complicated. The surgery is relatively straightforward, and involves making an incision in the skin over the hernia, removing the hernia sac, and then repairing the abdominal wall. In most cases, the horse will make a full recovery and will not have any long-term complications.
