Additional info, added Friday July 8 2005, 9:17 am: The Hernia is quite hard at times, the vet said a while back that it was harmless but it seems to have grown. Does her food have anything to do with this.. Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category? Maybe give some free advice about: Pets? X_Amanda_X answered Friday July 8 2005, 5:22 pm: Usually a hernia requires a surgery to fix it. And about the food having to do with it, you may want to ask the vet to be sure. Good luck to your dog.
