Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If you have a lump where you gave fluids under the skin, it is possible there is an infection present if it is sore. A hernia is a break in the body wall, so the muscle would have to be torn open, this is exceedingly unlikely with a subcutaneous injection, even if the injection was not given properly. Without seeing Anano I cannot say if the lump is a hernia (from a cause other than the injection), or if it is an abscess (infected fluid filled area), or if it is just the fluid accumulating before being absorbed into the body. If it is painful at all, and if he is vomiting or has a fever, then he needs to be seen by a vet right away. Also, it sounds like he might need some IV fluids instead of the SQ fluids, as they sound like they aren't absorbing. Best of luck with Anano, I hope he feeds better soon.
