5 month shih tzu

My shih tzu all of a sudden has a swollen stomach and is drinking water more than he usually dogs.  he has even been standing by my grandmothers food barking for water. his belly has never been that huge and he weighs more than usual also what should i do? i am worried!! it also may seem like he's been eating grass and our chicken's poop  because that is what he threw up

Sorry but he must be evaluated by a vet ASAP.  He will probably need abdominal X-Rays, a fecal analysis, blood work, and more diagnostics.  Please do what's best for him!
