sounds like a tummy Umbilical Hernias.... well known in ebt's as it goes

in the old days they used to tye a coin around the hernia to help that

they can actually ave an op to rite it... but ive known dogs to live happilly wiv a tummy hernia.

read this Inguinal, Umbilical and Diaphragmatic Hernias in Dogs

Good advice i would have said that too did not know about the coin tho?

yep, my mum and a breeder i know both said the same thing to me lol...strange wat we did in the old days aint it lol.

I did read that it can heal up but it will just look like it has a outie bellybutton lol.

i actually had a pup like that i used to feel it pop back in wen i picked her up...made me cringe it did coz it had a clicky feeling to it lol...as she grew, obviously the hernia grew wiv her...god its making me cringe now lol.

they said they wont know for sure untill he is about 6-7 weeks, i wonder how much it would be to fix it at the vets if he does need it.
