Swollen tummy in cats
Cats can have a swollen tummy due to many different illnesses. Free fluid accumulation is the most common reason for the swelling.
Cats can have different types of fluid inside their tummy, or abdomen. The type of fluid depends on the cause and determines treatment. Feline infectious peritonitis is a common illness in outdoor, multi-cat households. It causes fluid build-up in the tummy and can be fatal if untreated.
