Got to take my lad back to the vets tomorrow after having his hernia repaired and 10 long days of lead walks it looks like the hernia has returned worse than when he had it first done.

Definitely take him back but it may just be fluid draining from the site so don't assume the worst just yet.
In life, it is important to know when to stop arguing with people and simply let them be wrong.

Took him back he's got an infection the hernia is intacted so hopefully a course of antibiotics will sort him out.
