Just noticed it tonight at bath time.

its by the top of her leg near her fouf!

Sticks out more when she laughs or tenses her stomach.

Any ideas? Will be taking her to the doc asap.

Ok looked this up and think it must be a hernia.

Probably an inguinal hernia?

I plan on leaving it til the morning then calling for an emergency appointment tomorrow at the docs.

She isn't in any pain, and it doesn't look to be strangulated.

Does sound like a hernia. Good luck at doc's!
