Sounds like a herniated bellybutton.
These come from mama biting the umbilical cord to close to the skin. It can also just be a weakness in the muscle surrounding the umbilicus. Either way it can be corrected when she gets spayed. If untreated, problems may arise so ensure once she goes to her new home at the healthy age of 8wk that the issue be fixed during spay.
And if course, always consult your vet with any questions. They will be able to provide an accurate answer.
Had to spread the rep but I agree, sounds like a hernia.
Some can be left alone, others require surgery, your vet will be able to tell you which type it is.
Don't stress, it is a very common problem and easily fixed.
Bring her in to your vet.
My puppy has a lump it feels like fulid on her belly. WHAT CAN IT BE AND IS IT Something THAT NEED TO GET CUT?? //
Only your vet can answer that crisacevedo, if it's at her belly button, odds are it's a hernia, if it is elsewhere it could be a cyst, tumor, pimple... unfortunately there are too many possibilities to guess.
