As far as the gas, try changing the diet to one with more meat and less grain.
The lump is possibly an umbilical hernia, whether it is a problem or not depends on how big it is, at any rate it is easly fixed. Most vets will correct an umbilical hernia when the dog is neutered, as long as you mention it.

First of all change the food you give him...that's probably the gassy problem. As for the lump by her belly button...my miniature schnauzer has that too and the Dr said that is just her belly button where she was attached to the mother. You may still want to have it checked out though. Better to be safe than sorry.

I don't know about the lump ask the vet it could be a tumor OR it could be this skin thing with sweat in it. but the gas, its something your feeding it. I knew a dog who ate cat food, and he farted. P.U!
Good luck!
