Besides the obvious weight loss, are there any other symptoms? Any eggs burried in the substrate? The abdomen distention is likely a regular gut (these guys are gut fermentators and thus it's nearly always full of food), that is just more apparent now with the weight loss.

I would begin with seperating the two and monitoring weight, appetite and stool. A vet visit is not a bad idea at this time either but if the demeaner is currently good it might not be immediately necessary.
