    Author: Fretz PB, Hamilton GF, Barber SM, Ferguson JG.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1983 Sep 01; 183(5):550-2. PubMed ID: 6618986.
    Abstract:
    The medical records of 60 cattle and 47 horses treated for umbilical hernia at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine over a 3-year period were studied retrospectively. Age, hernia size, physical signs at admission, reducibility, method of repair, prevalence, and types of complications were evaluated. Most patients were less than 6 months old, with hernias less than 10 cm long. Affected cattle had a higher prevalence of organic diseases associated with umbilical hernias and more postsurgical complications than did affected horses.
