spry my lurcher has developed a small pea sized umbilical hernia (or im guessing so)

its fairly hard (not like my old dogs hernia)

she had a phantom pregnancy about 1 month ago - and there was def no sign of it then. Its just grown sooooo quick,

shes due for her annual jab soon so will show the vet but im just worrying!!!

ive never known them to just grow????

she did when she was 6 months get a small wart on her lower leg but this came and went within a few weeks.

anyone else have any info

A hernia would be soft and you should be able to gently push the protrusion back into place, although it won't stay there once you remove the pressure.

A hard lump needs more investigating so best to ask your vet for an opinion :thumbsup:
