Poor ace. He obviously has an upset tummy. This could be due to worms, eating something he shouldn't, or even a viral infection. If he didn't have all his shots then I would be worried about the viral infection. He is likely yelping because he is hurting or he may have something stuck. With him being young, I worry about dehydration. I would have your vet do an exam and make sure he isn't getting dehydrated. He may need a dewormer or some antibiotics. I hope this helps.
