My yorkie is about 13 years old and within the past couple weeks she has become increasingly bloated. She's become bloated before, but never like this. Her stomach looks as if it could have a litter of puppies in it. She isn't acting normal either. She hasn't eaten the past couple days, and in the past couple days it has gotten increasingly worse. She can no longer walk normally because it is so badly bloated. We finally got her to eat tonight when we hand fed her and positioned the bowl right up in her face. Perhaps she wasn't eating because she cannot adjust her body into a position that would enable her to. She also isn't laying down. She'll sit up when we sit with her on the couch.

We took her to the vet recently, but it was before the bloating got as bad as it is now. They said they could run tests, but they wouldn't be able to operate because of her age. Any ideas on what could be wrong? She doesn't squirm when we rub her belly, so it is not extremely enflammed or anything, but we don't want to press too hard to see.
