Hello! So backstory: Arthur is getting over an infection. He lost a bit of weight bc of said infection. He now has so much more energy and is eating like normal. Today he enjoyed some spinach and romaine lettuce. However, I have noted he has quite the belly on him. It is not his rib cage, rather it is true belly. He isn’t lethargic, it isn’t hollow, it doesn’t appear to be tender or anything. Am I over analyzing things?

EDIT. it’s soft and squishy. I don’t think it’s bloating, I am just paranoid I think. Poops regularly too. I’m so nervous after the sudden loss of Winston earlier in the year.
