Dog with umbilical hernia
After Getting Our new Baby(Maltese) 8 weeks old home 2 days ago, We have discovered that she has a Hernia, about where the belly buuton is. It does not pertrude to far, and when she lies on her back you can barely feel it. My Q's are, Will this Go Away? or Can I tape it until it heals?(like place a quarter over it and a bandage around her tummy) My son had a hernia as a baby and the doctor said do that and it worked. Or will she need to have surgery? Also- VERY IMPORTANT.. I bought her for breeding. Will this affect her having Puppies? |

Betta fish swimming in circles
My betta fish has been swimming in a spinning motion and has been finding comfort in lying on the gravel (with its head kind of digging in it). He just started doing this a few hours ago. I cleaned my fish bowl (which I hadn't cleaned in 3 weeks) and I'm not showing that its responding any differently. Is it dying?
