My dog has a bloated stomach and bad dreams from stress. What to do?

Question

My current situation at home isn't the best, both, financially and family like, my father has the tendency to yell and insult everyone who he can't control & by doing so he's stressing out my little cutie so much that her stomach is bloated and she has been having bad dreams. I thought about first getting her checked at vet and vaccinated against deadly diseases and groomed and for just in case calming shampoos or CBD treats which I'm not really sure. How can I help her? Thanks a lot. Pet's info: Dog | Maltese | Female | unspayed | 5 years and 6 months old | 4 lbs

I would recommend that you have Bella examined by a vet. While stress at home can certainly cause problems, it does not often cause bloating in dogs. Bloating could be a sign of a serious medical condition, such as fluid building up in the abdomen, organ enlargement, excess gas in the intestines, etc. A vet will do a thorough examination and may recommend diagnostic testing, such as blood work or x-rays to determine the problem.
