Sometimes their belly can have a bump after feeding, but it evens out after a bit... could that be it?
Pics are very helpful.

Could be a food lump. Could be a big IP. Could be a nematode. Does it look like this?

If it hasn't gone away by tomorrow, then hopefully a moderator can move it to the Hospital Forum.
