    My two week old puppy has a knot in her belly?
    My dog just had pups and I noticed that the little girl has a small bump above her belly button she is two weeks old. I have a vet app. In two days. I was just a little worried and was just wanted some help.

    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.

    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.
