Belly has gotten big what is the cause? I have a question about my 10 yr old maltese. Ever since we have gotten our puppy 3 months ago it seems that my maltese has gaines weight. It seems that her belly is always full feeling. She has tracea problems also. Our new puppy does seem to pick on her a lot so I do know that she has to put up with a lot of stress from him but I am kind of concerned that she may have something else going on but not sure. I have done some reading on cushings disease but would she have other symptoms other than her belly? I'm just kind of scared about taking her to the vet we just lost our other dog in July and we had been dealing with liver problems with him and I really don't want to face having major health problems again with her so soon. |
