Hi and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I would recommend getting Shiro into your veterinarian at some point to get him evaluated. Intermittent hard, painful abdomen could indicate something more serious in an adult dog. Given though Shiro is eating fine, with no vomiting/diarrhea and acting normally now, I would call your veterinarian and make an appointment for some time soon. They will do a full physical exam and likely recommend diagnostics like xrays and bloodwork. That may help in getting an answer with what is going on with Shiro. Good luck.
