bless him, i have no advice im afraid, didn't want to look and run.can you not put this in health section?
 
not in piggies or buns, but my nans yorkie has a large hernia on her tummy, vet said best to leave it as it wasn;t causing any problems, but if it did then they would remove it

mabel got a hernia and had it seen to but this was because of her spey operation
 
Honey had 2 operations to reduce the hole in her hernia. I had the option to leave it or risk an operation. I chose to have the operation. First one was not a great success it did reduce the hole but not enough. I gave it another chance and the hole is small enough now.

If you leave it you need to monitor its size to ensure the intestines have not come through. If you need anymore info let me know.
