It is probably just fatty tissue that got trapped when the umbilical was closing. This article will explain it. Just keep an eye on it and if it does get any bigger then you will need to talk to the vet about it. Years ago I had a puppy that the vet and I thought she had a hernia but when he went in to do the surgery he discovered it was just trapped fatty tissue and not a true hernia. Umbilical Hernias
