She was diagnosed with cancer about 2 months ago and had her leg amputated about a month ago, currently I’m concerned about her enlarged belly, panting, tight abdomen, and her being gassy
I'm truly sorry to hear about your dog's condition. Given her history of cancer and the recent amputation, the symptoms you're describing—such as an enlarged belly, panting, a tight abdomen, and being gassy—are indeed concerning and could indicate a serious issue. These symptoms might be related to complications from her cancer, such as fluid accumulation in the abdomen (ascites), an infection, or gastrointestinal problems.
While you wait to see a veterinarian, you can try to keep her comfortable by ensuring she has a quiet, cool place to rest and providing plenty of fresh water. It's also a good idea to avoid giving her any new foods that might upset her stomach further. However, please keep in mind that these measures are only temporary and not a substitute for professional care.
Given the severity of her symptoms, I strongly recommend taking her to a veterinarian as soon as possible. They can perform the necessary diagnostics to determine the cause of her symptoms and provide the appropriate treatment. Addressing these symptoms promptly is crucial to ensure she receives the care she needs.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
