A hernia is a build up of soft tissues, usually the muscles weaken and the structures that are held by the muscle ( fat, prostate, bladder, etc) move backward and herniate.
i think you should make him as comfortable as possible and keep everthing the same, also you could give high fibre food and prevent your cat from licking the area.
i think you should ring your vet also to see what they suggest..
