One of my 4 babies has a lump on her belly. None of the others have it just her. Anyone know what it could be? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

probably an umbilical hernia. (just a sec, will post info)

"Dogs and cats with umbilical hernias have a soft , painless swelling or bulge over their umbilicus. The swelling may come and go depending on the pet’s position and how much it has eaten. Small umbilical hernias contain nothing but a fatty veil called the omentum which normally covers the intestines. Small hernias are not serious and sometimes close spontaneously." - http://www.thepetprofessor.com/artic...le.aspx?id=201
