I am worried that Goose may be pretty sick. Intact female dogs can get a very serious infection of the uterus called a pyometra. Sometimes this will make their belly look larger when in actuality they are losing weight. I would highly encourage you to have her evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
