クルミくんに病気がみつかりました。今朝、トリマーさんが指摘してくれて、早速獣医に診せたところ明日、手術することになりました。犬特有の病気のようです。腸が身体の中で移動してしまい、排便に障害を起こす「会陰（えいん）ヘルニア」という病気だそうです。急変したものではなく、徐々に腸の場所が変化して気づくようになったみたいです。以前からも排便の調子が良くなかったのはこれが原因かも知れません。歳をとっていますが、心臓の様子も良好なようで、獣医は手術を決断しました。今日はいつものように一緒に過ごして、明日の朝、クルミくんは入院です。私たちは獣医を信頼して、クルミくんが元気になって帰ってくることを願うだけです。
Kurumi has been found to be sick. The trimmer pointed it out to us this morning and we immediately took him to the vet and he will have surgery tomorrow. It seems to be a dog-specific disease. It is a disease called “hernia of the perineum” in which the intestines move inside the body and cause problems with defecation. It is not a sudden change, but rather a gradual change in the location of the intestines that it has come to notice. This may be the reason why his bowel movements have not been good even before. Although he is getting older, his heart seems to be doing well and the vet has decided to operate. Today we will spend time together as usual, and tomorrow morning Kurumi will be admitted to the hospital. We just trust the vet and hope that Kurumi will come back home in good health.
