Question
My dog of 9 months seems to have knots on her lower stomack.  My 3 year old dog does not.  She seems tender when we touch that area hard.  She seems fine otherwise.  Hacve you seen this before? If so what is going on?

Answer
When you say knots on her stomach, do you mean lumps outside the skin, or lumps under the skin? How big are they? Do they move when you touch them or are they rigid? How many are there?

My first thought would be an umbilical hernia, but I would need more information before I could answer. Thank you!
