Default Re: Swollen Belly?

Apart from pregnancy it could be a number of illnesses or just plain chubiness now she is getting well fed and cared for.
Swollen abdomens can be due to pyometra - is there any discharge?? Bad smell, drinking a lot? Lethargy?
Fluid retention due to kidney or heart issues.
Tumours or cysts in the tummy.
If you are worried that it may be one of these conditions then a vet visit is needed. There is always the chance they wanted her away because they knew she had been mated so you do need to be on pup watch.
I hope she is OK x
