Hello. It does appear that Ace has a small umbilical hernia. Your veterinarian can examine him in person to discuss if surgery is necessary or recommended. In the meantime, monitor the hernia to make sure there is no significant change in its size or appearance. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
