I would strongly suggest a vet visit for further testing to at least pinpoint the cause of these symptoms, even if you want to attempt treatment at home. I agree it sounds like a gastro problem; perhaps a meal decaying in the digestive tract. Could be something else entirely though. But I'm not a vet.

I have a neighbor that swears by it. Says it can cure any stomach ailment that any species of creature (and us) can have. Just didn't know if anyone had ever tried it. Ended up going to the vet. She said it was the beginning of a minor resp. problem and gave him an antibiotic shot. As far as the bloating, she couldn't find any obstruction and didn't seem that concerned. She believed that when he started to eat again it would work its way out. We will see.
