Sudden bloat and hard belly in belly of a puppy now I feel a abnormal stomach ? Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | 4 months and 13 days old

Poor Chaca! It's very concerning when I hear of a dog that has sudden bloat and a hard belly, not to mention an abnormal stomach. She could have bloat, which is a fatal condition without treatment. I would have Chaca seen by a vet immediately for this, as it is a medical emergency.
