Teddy Dog (detail introduction)

I believe that many owners have seen many owners, but they may not know. Some owners are always wondering why there will be a soft small bag at the navel of their dogs. In fact, that is the umbilical hernia. For umbilical hernias, if it always maintains the original size, then we don't need to deal with it, but if this bag grows with the growth of the dog, then it is necessary to treat it. The cause of umbilical hernia.

1. In the case of the natural production of unmanned care, the umbilical cord is excessively pulled when the dog is produced, causing the umbilical holes to be too large. After the puppies are cured, the umbilical hole is still large, causing umbilical hernia.

2. When giving birth, the puppies 'umbilical cord is too short. The ligation point is too close to the abdominal wall. When the umbilical cord is naturally dry and falls off, the umbilical hole is too large, which is also one of the reasons for the puppies' umbilical hernia.

3. When the umbilical cord is not naturally falling off, the puppies are bite and pull each other, so that the umbilical cord that should not fall off is pulled off and falls off prematurely, and the umbilical hernia can be produced.

4. The genetic factors of some species of dogs can easily cause umbilical hernia, such as sausage dogs.

5. Some external force factors, such as trauma, injury, etc. can also cause umbilical hernias in the umbilicus.
