Umbilical hernias in kittens generally do not heal on their own and require surgical treatment, otherwise the condition is likely to worsen and may even endanger the cat's life. Umbilical hernias are usually fat or intestines. If they are intestines, they are prone to intestinal intussusception, intestinal necrosis, and intestinal perforation. Once discovered, it is best to take the cat to the pet hospital for surgery in time to avoid delaying the condition. .
