Hernia
When Paddy had his first jabs were we told he had a very small hernia but that it was unlikely to need treatment. We're seeing the vet again on Thursday but wondered what others on here thought as I'm sure I've seen similar on other Staffie pics.....
To me it looks like he just has an 'outy' tummy button. lol

Re: Hernia
My girl had this, will get told various reasons for it, but it is an ambilical hernia, if its small which it looks it is you can keap pushing it back in and sometimes it will fix itself, or when you get her done (if you do) they can put a stitch in it which fixs it.
It is worth fixing as it can cause a few problems if left, not always, but there is a slight risk.

Re: Hernia
Tyson has a little belly 'button' just the same. It has remained the same size and not grown as he has. Vet was not concerned about it so I just keep an eye on it.

Re: Hernia
Yes, most of them cause no problems at all - just be aware of it & let your vet know if there are any changes.

Re: Hernia
Vet said all's fine and unless it gets about 3 or 4 times bigger, not to worry
