Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. It is difficult to say just from a picture what is wrong with Flower. If you think Flower's belly is bloated / enlarged, I would have a veterinarian examine her and have x-rays taken of her abdomen. Things that would make a belly distend range from fluid in the abdomen, large amounts of gas (bloat) and tumors. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
