Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Abdominal distension could be due to fluid accumulation in the abdomen, organ enlargement, weakening of the abdominal muscles, or other problems not listed here. You should take him to a veterinarian for an examination. They may recommend testing to determine the cause.
