My dog's stomach gets bloated after eating, but he's acting normal. Is it serious?

Question

Hi, my dog's stomach gets bloated after he eats. Tonight (7-8 hours ago, 4 AM here) he was specially bloated since he ate 4 hours before (photo). His belly felt like a balloon it was soft but felt like it was filled with gas, he continued acting as usual while bloated, he felt no pain, he drank water while bloated, I took him in a walk and he was fine and pooped/piss I can't take him to a vet till november unless its an emergency. Should I worry? Since he acted as usual there is no problem? Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | unneutered | 6 years old | 8.5 lbs

He may be over eating at times. He may need a diet change to something for a sensitive stomach that is easier to digest for him. Since he is acting normal, with a good appetite and no vomiting or diarrhea, you can try a sensitive stomach formula food or a limited ingredient food to see if that makes a difference. You should monitor his weight weekly to make sure there are no sudden changes as that can indication fluid build up from intestinal or heart disease. If you notice any vomiting or diarrhea, or the weight is consistently increasing with the bloating, then he should be seen by a vet.
