Bumpy tummy

Q: I noticed my female 11 week old puppy has a small soft bump at the top center of her belly (closer toward the rib cage). It doesn’t appear to hurt her when I touch it and her activity and eating are normal. Is this normal anatomy or something that needs to be checked out?

A: What you describe could ge an umbilical hernia, not something to worry about but get it checked at your next vet visit.
