My puppy is about 8 weeks old and everytime after he finishes eating or drinking water(filtered), his stomach makes weird noises. Also, he makes noises like if he has the hiccups. Any ideas what it is?

Puppies are prone to hiccups than adult dogs are ( especially under 6 months of age) .Hiccups in puppies are often brought on by excitement or by eating a large meal. Usually, hiccups are the result of swallowing too much air.
