Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is very concerning for a possible gastrointestinal obstruction. I would highly recommend you consider having Homie evaluated as soon as possible for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for this and possibly confirm it. If this is actually diagnosed, surgery may be needed. Another possibility is dietary indiscretion though I am more concerned about an obstruction. Good luck and have a great day!
