Re: Cat with swollen stomach

I would agree that a vet visit is necessary. Unfortunately a sudden increase in belly size is often fluid which is usually because of a serious liver disease, heart disease or most often cancer.

Your vet will do a good exam and will likely put a needle in the belly to determine if there is fluid there. They may do an xray or ultrasound as well.

I hope everything is ok!
