While we were away, Sisse was at the puppy sitter. Wonderful gal, she took such good care of Sisse. She came back clean (she even bathed her), smelling sweet and VERY tired!! There was another Malt baby there at the same time, they played VERY hard and just loved one another.....anyway, we received a call on Saturday from the puppy sitter that she had noticed a bulge on her belly right where her umbilical cord would of been. She had taken her to our Vet immediately and they said she developed an umbilical hernia. They don't know why it happened but said the area must of always been "weak" and maybe with all the puppy playing being done that it herniated. It is okay for now, but when she goes in at the end of the month they'll repair that when they do her spay. We are just to watch it to make sure it doesn't get bigger, if it does, they may have to do her spay sooner than anticipated. Has anyone ever had this problem with their baby?? It does not seem to bother her at all.....
