Is it normal for my puppy's stomach to gurgle and move while sleeping?

Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund miniature | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 25 days old | 5 lbs

I can see movement in my puppy's stomach while he sleeps on his back also noises similar to ours after we eat? Is he just digesting food or something worse going on?

It is likely normal digestion. However, if he has not been dewormed yet, then I would highly encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian so they can begin vaccinations and deworming. Also, if there is any vomiting, diarrhea, or inappetance then he should be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
