One of the old time things was to tape an old penny over the hernia to help support and then hopefully to 'disappear'

No you don't, but I very much doubt that it's the vets fault,I wouldn't imagine that the nurse cut the cords too short or pulled at them.I would say that it's more likely to be inheredited.

Hope so. Just one of the owners told me that her vet said its down to who delievered them.

I would say thats an assumption to be honest as most hernia's are inheredited.I really can't see how they have come to that conclusion.

i agree one of my girls had an umbilical hernia and when i asked at the vets about it they said that it is not caused by pulling at the cord it is hereditary
