Any kind of abdominal swelling is serious - it could be anything from infection, to fluid build up (kidney and heart failure can cause that and so can cancer). The main thing is that I think she should be seen by a vet. I say that because if she is very swollen then something could burst and that be a very painful way for her to die. The vet will assess and may even suggest you have her pts. So sorry.
