Diaphragmatic hernia

Hello,

This is a 6 week old papillon that presented with a huge umbilical hernia. Soon after we placed her on US table we realized there are 2 hernias: one dyaphragmatic. I think the liver and GB goes into the pericardium, however not sure. On the last clip I can see continuation from pericardium covering the liver lobe. Do you agree?
