10-week checkup for Lily at the vet.

[Jake Apperson]

My wife took Lily to the vet this morning... she met a Great Dane that she seems to think she is just as big as. From 7 weeks to 10 weeks she has doubled in size and weighs in at 10.5 pounds now. The spot where her umbilical cord was gave her an " outie " but they said they could fix that when she is spayed. anyone else ever had this and did it go away or best to let them fix it when they already have her under to be fixed? The vet said it is not a hernia that will go away on its own.

Loki had a herniated belly buttons when he was a baby. They fixed it and now there is a small scar but nothing to noticeable She is so cute!

Baxter has a tiny little flat knob ... kind of looks like a wart ... lol i was just going to leave it. Should it be "fixed" ?

 

[Jake Apperson]

The one she has sticks up about as far as my pinky fingernail ( best thing I could think of to put it into mental picture status ) and to be honest, the only reason I think about getting it fixed when she gets spayed is so it does not cause problems for her later down the road if it gets rubbed wrong on the carpet or in the yard or something.

Poor little girl

My wife went to look in on her and found her asleep on a shirt of mine and she was shaking a little. The vet said the shots she got today might make her a little sick. My wife sat down with her in her lap and covered her up and she is out like a light now.

What a beautiful little baby... One of Bella's pups had a herniated belly button that actually went down on it's own, I really don't know how involved that surgery is but if you are getting her spayed anyway I would go ahead & get it taken care of...

She is too cute. Yes let them fix it when she gets spayed. It's probably an umbilical hernia.

OMG... how adorable! As others have said, the hernia is not uncommon and is best to have it taken care of during her spay. less surgeries the better with Bullies

I'm no help on the belly button but dang she sure is cute. I love her eyes.

 

[MyStellaBully]

Stella had an umbilical hernia. The breeder had it surgically repaired before selling her. The surgeon kinda did a hack job on her. The incision is still pretty raised and bumpy. She had a round of antibiotics when I got her. My vet expects it to get smaller and smoother with age. It never seemed to bother her.

​Such a cutie pie...hoping she feels lots better when she wakes

Update on her. She was not herself for a while after I got home and just wanted to sleep. When I started cooking dinner last night, that was like a light switch going into the ON position

She perked right up then and was her normal self from then on. Who would have thought that the smell of chicken cooking would do that to her
