Outie?

• Outie? zatchbell322 Posted : 8/5/2008 6:17:41 PM I have noticed the past week or so that Lex seems to have developed an "outie" belly button. It is very firm and doesn't seem to be causing him any pain or discomfort. Is it something I should be concerned about? Is it common for dogs to develop these later in life(he will be 2 in December)? Thanks!  LIKE 5 REPLIES 339 VIEWS LAST POST TZU_MOM Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• tzu_mom Posted : 8/6/2008 7:31:13 PM Here's another link on umbilical hernias-----some breeds are more prone than others, one being the Airedale. http://www.petplace.com/dogs/umbilical-hernia-in-dogs/page1.aspx Likely a vet visit is order, just to be sure. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
