Herniated Umbilical Cord

[Alicia M Kouw]

I was wondering if anyone has any info about this issue....Louie is 8 1/2 months old and i knew he had this since the day we got him. It don't seem to bother him at all or cause any issues or discomfort either, I just have to push it back in every so often. My regular vet told me it would have to most likely be fixed, which I figured. he has not been to the Bulldog guru vet yet I have to set that appt up for his check up before scheduling his neutering.... Any info and thoughts on this would be appreciated :D

Hey! I dont have any exp with it myself but I have heard some stories of puppies having it! Usually they will try to fix it at the time of neuter> I have heard conflicting stories of it not getting it fixed and the intestine were con stricted and others say it jsut wnet away! Im sure others will be by soon to give you better advice on what to do! SOrry your going through this and I hope everything works out for you and baby! My little boy just turned 9 months 3/4

Hi! Ruggles had one since birth and we had it fixed when we neutered him at 5 or 6 mos.!

Same here, My doc fixes these at the time.

Talulah was born with one and she got it repaired when she got spayed. I was under the impression that a hernia shouldn't be left for too long,because something more serious could develop.
