Thanks for reaching out about Hanash and including photos. Gas in the stomach is usually a result of a problem and this does not treat the problem. Gastrointestinal obstructions, infections, metabolic disorders (liver, kidney) are just a few of the problems that can result in this condition. Offer water via a syringe, gentle stomach massages might help. Is there a chance to see a different veterinarian? Good luck.
