Help: Chopper has a bubble on this tummy

[Chopper]

Hi everyone

Last night when I was rubbing chopper's tummy.
I notice a bubble right under his skin.
When I touch it he doesn't feel any pain or discomfort.
The bubble feel really soft like it is fill with liquid or air.
I'm just asking if any other owner encounter anything
similar?

Thanks

It could be any number of things. My first thought is perhaps it is a staph infection. It could also be a reaction (allergy), or a hernia. I would probably take him to the vet just to be safe. If it's an infection then antibiotics should clear it right up.

Hope it's nothing serioues!

My thoughts are the same as Ashley. I would have your vet take a quick look. Hope it is nothing serious.

I agree -- it's that ounce of prevention that eases our minds.

It depends on where it is on his tummy. When Pixie had one it was a hernia, but we didn't know that for sure until she had surgery to remove it. Best to have your vet check it. Good luck and let us know!

My guess is a hernia.

I would get it checked out by a vet.

My Collie has an umbilical hernia. It's about the size of the end of my pinky. When I have her spayed (if I ever get to it) I will have them fix it.

Duncan had the same. When he was neutered, it was fixed. If it is where the belly button would be, then it is probably this. Still, a vet would give the best advice.

Can you get a picture of it? It's possible it could be a hernia but Dr G would have repaired it if it had been there when he was neutered... It could be a harmless fatty growth too. He' not exactly slim and trim... I'd like to see it Suz if you don't want to post it here..email me.
