Umbilical hernias

Does anyone know anything about umbilical hernias? My LaMancha doeling has developed one.

I don't know about goats but I do know about alpacas. Is it coming out of an opening? Can you pop it back in? Sometimes just popping it back in whenever your check it can work or rig up some type of hernia belt until the opening closes up. At least that is what we do with alpacas. I actually have hernia belts that are made specifically for alpaca crias and they work great. I just check every day to make sure everything is ok.
