Hernia?

[newby]

Just got a new pup and noticed a little protrusion around her belly-button. When I push on it, it seems to disappear. Is this a hernia, and is it dangerous? What can or should I do about it. I noticed all the pups in the litter had it. Did the momma just trim the cord a little too much? It's not big, just a little odd looking. Thanks for the advice.

i v got a walker pup with a hernia and was told by the vet to push it in any time you handel the pup and as the muscels grow it should fix its self if not that they normaly fix them when they spay or during anothe visit she told me it was not somthing to schedule a quick appt for and my pup has had no problems yet to 4 months it is harder to push in but still there im going to get it fixed now cause it doesnt seem to be fixing itself

I had 2 pups out of last litter that had that and I think your right about the mom chewing it of a little too short. But mine didnt get very big and i didnt have the money so i just left it and they are 3 years old now, you cant even tell now. It looked goofy as hell all the way to a year old. Its still their it dosent bother them and its really tight but it doesnt stick out. Thats just what i did, if you got the money you mise as well fix it.
