I've seen the puppy since it was born on day one and a lump around her vaginal area never appeared until a month later. I'm unsure if this is an umbilical or abdominal hernia...but I can confirm that if I touch it, she won't squirm and I can also push it back it, although it falls out every morning. It's soft, so I assume it's reducible.

I do plan on breeding her sometime in the future, but i'm not sure if it's safe since i read somewhere that puppies can actually fall out from where the hernia is. She's 3 months at the moment.
