My puppy has a strange lump on his tummy. Is it an umbilical hernia?

Question

Hello, based on the pictures I have of José on his pet profile, does it look like an umbilical hernia? Someone said something about the area on his tummy looking like the area where the umbilical cord was. I looked this up and want an opinion on it. Thank you.

Hi there. From the picture it is not clear if there could be an hernia or not. A full assessment would require more pictures ( with him standing on four feet, with him on the back, and possibly with you pointing the spot). Pictures and more questions can be uploaded for free on pet coach platform.
