Alfie has an umbilical Hernia. On his vet papers in the abdominal palpitation section the vet has ticked the normal box and wrote small umbilical hernia in the comment box. The vet thinks it will heal on it's own. To me it looks quite large, it's about the size of the tip of my finger. It can also be pushed back into his stomch so you cant see it, but pops back out as soon as Alfie moves. Here is a photo of it, do you think it looks small? and does it look like it will heal on it's own? if not I will have to get it fixed when he gets neutered. I will get my vet to have a look at it when he goes for his next set of shots to get a second opinion. Alfie is still acting like a normal puppy and he eats and goes to the toilet very well so I dont think it's causing him any pain. I just thourght it looked quite large but the vet thinks it's only small . Do you think his hernia look's and sounds ok? and does anyone have any pics of umbilical hernias? I have only ever seen one on my friends cocker spaniel pup but I dont think her's was as big as Alfie's.
and this is after I pushed it in
