Default Male Yorkie with enlarged abdomen....

I gave my Yorkies (2 males) a short haircut for the summer 2 weeks ago...its been a busy few weeks (I just gave birth) and a couple of days ago I noticed he looked like his sides were swollen. I was not sure if he had gained weight, and I didn't notice because his hair was longer, or if I was imagining it. I had my husband look at it, and he said he thought he looked fine. Then today, I tried putting a Yorkie band on him, and it didn't fit over his sides. I picked him up and looked at his belly/penis area and noticed his penis looks big/swollen, like its blown up. I compared it to my other Yorkie male, and it looks alot bigger/swollen. I would say when he is standing, his sides look like they are bulging, like as if he was pregnant, and when I pick him up, his abdomen feels hard. I did notice a couple days in the last few weeks, there was diareah around. Maybe once in a day, every 4 or 5 days. I wasn't sure which dog, I have 5, it came from. And it was only one time, not chronic. Last night, there was liquid diareah on my patio, again I wasn't sure from which dog. My Yorkie is acting fine, he is eating, drinking, playing, running, licking. He has a wet nose, and his tushie looks fine, not enlarged, red or anything. He isn't crying in pain, even when I press on his abdomen. I am taking him to the Vet in the morning, but I was wondering if anyone had any clue as to what this could be. I did call an emeregency vet, and they said if he is acting fine, he should be fine till the mornring, and they didn't think I needed to bring him in. I just won't be able to sleep because of the worry. :-(
