Hello. My puppy Patch is having a swelled tummy. He vomitted out his food today morning and has been passing out liquid mucous filled stool twice so far. The stool is brownish yellowish. Just now he passed out liquid stool of pale brown colour with lots of fart sound like he has lot of gas. He also has hiccups a lot. What should I do to make him feel better? He's drinking water and had chicken and rice for dinner. He's had his first shot of vaccine 11 days back. Should I be worried?

Submit a stool sample to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial overgrowth. Deworm him if indicated. If he is behaving normally otherwise, continue with the bland diet until symptoms resolve then transition slowly to the regular diet. A veterinary probiotic, such as ProStora, ProViable or FortiFlora, may promote a healthy gut. If the symptoms persist or if Patches develops lethargy, vomiting, loss of appetite or abdominal pain then see your veterinarian.
