Unfortunately fatty changes to the liver and gas in the intestines are non specific changes that can be seen with many disease processes and are unlikely to be a primary problem. A liver aspirate or biopsy could give more information about what could be causing a fatty appearance. If Auro is still having symptoms I'd recommend talking to your veterinarian about any additional diagnostics that could be recommended.
