[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1514899, member: 16453"] Yep that is correct Ron, maybe not completely closed but greatly reduced from how it was and often plugged with a bit of fat and won't allow anything important to drop out. What you have in the sac has been strangulated off and tends to increase in size with extra fluid and fat over time. When I was at Uni a very good equine vet used to use deal with umbilical hernias in some very expensive thoroughbred weanlings using the cherio bands. He would tip them on their back and as long as he could get no more than 2 fingers into the hernial ring he would put 2 large safety pins (diaper pins) into the base in a criss cross fashion after first working the contents of the sac back into the abdomin and then put the band over the pins which held it close to the abdomin. By the time it fell off there was tightening of hernia and other healing and adhesions filled the defect, worked very well. Ken [/QUOTE]
