Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. With these symptoms, I would recommend having a veterinarian examine Ginger so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. She may have an intestinal foreign body or other abnormal abdominal condition. 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.
