The walking and bloating you are talking about is from the Liver Shunt. The toxins are being released into her blood stream instead of going through her liver. When her body doesn't expell the waste (toxins) her belly bloats. I may not be explaining correctly, but she needs to have something that will help her move the protien through her body quickly, or to make her poop more often. The medications may actually do this. I hope someone else can give better info on this.

I was just trying to keep her from hurting herself.

Just from last night she has had a big belly, normally you can see all her bones and my boyfriend and I noticed she looks really bloated or something. Her tummy is really big and kinda hard when I touch it. Its hard to explain so forgive me. We where thinking she hasn't went poo yet so maybe she bloated.

Sorry about not posting pictures of her but I did put them in my profile. The one picture of her when she is in a dress is when I first got her, before she was sick. Maybe today I will take more pictures and put them up on my profile.
