Abstract

Umbilical hernia rupture and evisceration are relatively rare in young cats. A 3-month-old domestic kitten was presented with a ruptured umbilical hernia and omental evisceration resembling a belly button. Clinically, it was not a complicated case and was surgically corrected by expeditious herniorrhaphy. Postoperatively, the kitten was provided with supportive medication and care and subsequently got a recovery within 2 weeks
