has she ever had any surgery in the abdomin area? like being spayed? The vet explained to me that anytime you cut into the abdomin there is a risk of a hernia because the internal sutures sometimes don't hold.. especially if the dog is very active shortly after the surgery. She said that then there may be a small opening inside the abdomin wall that causes a hernia
BTW.. as much as I like the FIRST vet who thought it was a lympoma.. she also told me it was too high to be a hernia and wasn't from her c-section or spay because it was too high..
