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..
Yup, she was spayed. I still think it's a hernia. But what do I know!? LOL
