There are many types of hernias in dogs, the most common of which is umbilical hernia. Umbilical hernia is located at the dog's belly button. It looks like a localized protrusion. It is soft to the touch and has a undulating feeling. It is painless and heatless. It can be recovered by pressing, but it will return to its original shape after letting go.

For umbilical hernias that do not continue to grow, conservative treatment can be adopted. If the umbilical hernia gradually increases as the dog gains weight, it will need to be treated with surgery in time.

Hernia is a common disease in which the abdominal organs rupture from natural holes or pathological ruptures to the subcutaneous or other anatomical cavities. In layman's terms, it means that the internal organs fall under the skin, or the abdominal organs run into the chest cavity. Those that protrude from the body surface are called external hernias, and those that do not protrude from the body surface are called internal hernias. Depending on the anatomical location, hernias can be divided into abdominal wall hernias, umbilical hernias, inguinal hernias, perineal hernias, and diaphragmatic hernias.
