Question
my dog is severely bloated and having diahrea at the same time, what can I do?  

Answer
You need to get your dog to the veterinarian.  True Bloat is life threatening.   Otherwise a swollen belly could be due to internal bleeding, intestinal parasites or an abdominal tumor.  This is not something you want to just wait and see what happens....getting him an examination is your best bet to get to the root of the problem and immediate treatment.
