This sounds like what my Toby had. He blew up like a balloon. The protein was filling up in his system. Then he developed stones from it. Fortunately we had an incredible vet that did a lot of research and found an easy answer. Toby since has passed away in November but he lived to 17 with this illness and he had it for about 9-10 years, but that wasn't what he died from. He started having seizures and we think he had a stroke on his last day. But what he was given was Royal Canin or Medi-cal diet as well as 1/2 a prednisone pill every other day and a cap full of MCT bodybuilding oil mixed with his food. He also had a sprinkle of polycitrate in his food to prevent stone from coming back. I hope this helps. The MCT oil is hard to find in the US. We live in Canada and had it shipped from Vancouver.
