Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! He is adorable! This may be normal as he is quite young and sometimes they can be very vocal. However, it would be ideal to have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment. This would be a good idea anyway to get all the pups on a preventative care plan but even more importantly as your pup may be in discomfort. That can be seen with abdominal pain or discomfort of some sort. If they do think that there is something abnormal on their examination, they would be able to treat accordingly. Good luck!
