swollen stomach

Swollen stomachs can be the result of different things.

They are commonly due to worms and hairball or other blockages in the stomach.

Also it could be the result of a trauma to the stomach like a fall.

Either way if this is an ongoing problem, the cat needs a physical exam by a vet to determine what is going on.
