Hello. This is really a situation best left to your vet to work through. A bloated stomach could truly be a swelling of the stomach itself, but may also be due to enlargement of other organs such as the spleen & liver. The bloating could also actually be ascites, or the buildup of fluid in the abdomen, again from possible problems with the liver, but can also occur from congestive heart failure. So with all that your are concerned about with Kratos, seeing your vet is the best way to identify what is going on, & starting whatever treatment may be appropriate for him. Good luck & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
