My senior dog's stomach is bloated, but he's acting normal. Why?

Question

I have a AM STAFF terroir he is about 8 to 10 years old and I noticed his stoumach looks bloated. I called a vet and they told me to keep an eye on him and if he started acting lethargic or not dedicating to being him in. But he is acting completely normal. Going potty, play fighting with the other dog, he will go for his normal walks with no issues. I'm just worried about it but I'm also in the worst financial situation at the moment so I'm trying to stay positive about it but I'm just worried! Pet's info: Dog | American Staffordshire Terrier | Male | unneutered | 9 years and 9 months old | 78 lbs

If he is still eating and drinking with no vomiting and playful then it may be from a tummy ache. If he seems to be panting heavily or trying to vomiting and not eating, then it is time to worry. Since he is so big, skipping a meal will not harm him and this may give his stomach a chance to rest.
