I recently posted about this kitten and now have another question. I took him in almost two months ago and he was about 3 weeks old then. I knew right off he had an umbilical hernia. I thought, "Okay, no big deal. I'll have it fixed when he is neutered." But it's gotten bigger. It's soft and moves. If he lays on his back it goes back into him and it goes almost flat but if he stands up again it's back out again. If you hold him up it's about the size of half of a golf ball sticking out and I'm start to think it's going to have to be fixed before his 6 months. It just keeps slowly getting bigger and I'm really starting to become worried. Is this normal or should he definitely have this fixed before the 6 month mark? I have no problem taking him to get it fixed early, I just really don't want to have to subject him to two different surgeries so young if they could do it all at once but if this is something that just cannot wait, I am okay with that. I am just wondering if that is the case. Thanks!

Also, unrelated but I heard Borax was extremely hazardous to cats and just them walking on the powder and it 'soaking' into their paws could kill them and now I hear of people using it to kill fleas around their cats? Is it not as poisonous as I was originally informed because this is something I really got scared about and I've stopped using this cleaner due to what I was originally informed.
