Japanese Chin Questions

A Visitor asked the following question on 4/25/2006
I bought a small puppy (6 months old) 2 weeks ago, and now just noticed a small red lump on his belly. The size of it is about 75% of your fingertip. I have spoken to the breeder and she is quite sure that from looking at the photo, its just a protuding navel (umbilical hernia) - which is common for a Japanese Chin. She said there is nothing to worry about. What do you think?

6/6/06 That they are very common in our breed and can be easily repaired should the vet feel it is needed when they are spayed or nuetered. sometimes they go away by themselves. nancy
