If your dog had a swollen tummy, would you think it was heart or kidney related? If it was heart wouldn't the dog be having trouble breathing? Thanks.

A swollen tummy could also be bloat depending on the type of breed - you didn't specify.
Is this a hypothetical question or is it going on right now....if now, you should have a vet at least check the dog out...

I wouldn't even try to guess...if there wasn't a known cause - like getting caught with his head in the food bag - I would get to a vet ASAP...

DEFINATELY get the dog to a vet asap!
It could be a number of things which 9 times out of 10 would need to be checked out for treatment. Could be worms, pregnancy (if female of course), bloat
It could also just be a large consumption of water but that should only last a couple hours. I wouldn't risk it. Many times this is something that needs to be check out and treated right away.
