Ascites, or fluid buildup in the abdomen, is the most common medical reason why dogs groan when they lay themselves down.

Trapped fluid causes dogs to vocalize as they struggle to get comfy.

Most dogs love a good belly rub, but if your dog begins to shrink from your loving touch, he may be experiencing this issue.
