Small hernia wheels and young puppies do not need any treatment. As long as you often press the hernia sac by your fingers when playing with puppies, or massage or alternately with the presses with your fingers at the skin of the hernia wheel, so that the hernia wheels can cause mild inflammation. In this way, the hernia wheel achieves the purpose of natural closedness.

Surgical treatment is used. Umbilical hernias should be performed at the age of April to July. At this time, the individuals of dogs grow rapidly and healing faster. It is implemented according to general sterile surgery during surgery. First, prepare skin and disinfect it, and make a "one" font incision in the middle of the umbilical hernia. Cut the skin and see the contents of the hernia. Generally, fat and connective tissues around the intestinal, large omentum, sickle ligament or hernia wheels. Incorporate the contents of the hernia into the abdominal cavity and trim the hernia wheel. If the contents of the hernia are incorporated into the abdominal cavity difficulty, the abdominal wall can be cut open at the hernia wheel. Until the hernia content is completely incorporated into the abdominal cavity. If the intestinal umbilical hernia occurs and is accompanied by intestinal necrosis, the intestinal tube of the necrotic section is needed and the intestinal kiss is needed. After the operation is completed, sew the abdominal cavity in a regular method. And bandaged, remove the wires after 7 days.
