Belly Button? The vet said Joel has an outie belly button, and said it was normal. I thought you weren't supposed to notice them. Anyone elses yorkie have an outie, how normal do you think it is? |
I didn't even know dogs had belly buttons?! I never noticed one on Mandie. Now, the poor girl is about to be manhandled lol |
Can you post a pic of Joel's belly button? I looked at Mandie and Shelby and I see nuttin. |
I'll try and get a pic when I get home. |
I've never seen one on any of my dogs. Hmm could it be a little hernia? I'll be intersted to see if anyone else has a dog with a belly button. |

Oh my! There has a tiny lil lump about three inches up from where her spay incision would be, right in the center. I can't see anything on the surface of her skin, but I feel a tiny spot under her skin. Is that her belly button??? |
Leave it to Joel to have an outie. :) |
Poor Joel, I just get home and now I'm taking pics of his boy parts haha! http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...1_220557-1.jpg |

I have never noticed any kind of belly button marking on my boys. Will look closer tonight. I don't want to alarm you, but is the doctor sure that is his belly button? Seems rather large for one, but I didn't know dogs had them in the first place. |
Ellie has an outie! It was cleared by her vet. Make sure it isn't a hernia... |

Now I feel left out that none of my dogs ever had them. That is so neat. lol |
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 |
