Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Without examining Jinxy it is difficult to say for sure what the cause could be. This could be a hernia due to trauma or some congenital defect. It would be best to have a veterinarian examine her so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
