Umbilical hernia's can appear as the puppy grows and get heavier,   doen't 
sound like it is too big, I would fix the hernia when the pup is spayed,  and 
the spay should not be before 6 mos. of age.  The pup should not  undergo 
anesthesia, twice at such a young age.  This vet may want to spay  the pup now 
when 
he fixes the hernia.  Would not do this.

Ok  guys... co-owner just called to say her 4 1/2 month  old female puppy has 
an umbilical  hernia.  Weird...  I didn't see a hernia on any of  the puppies 
and the whole litter was vet checked at 7  weeks..  She said she didn't 
notice it until a few days ago.   Anyway, the hernia still isn't closed.  I've 
never had one that  didn't close by now... do you guys think it will close on 
it's 
 own?  Her vet wants to repair it immediately.  Would  you guys just spay and 
fix it during the spay?  This was also a pick  puppy that's still looking 
real nice.... go figure!  

Thanks  in advance,
