Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is possibly due to some form of discomfort. This could be perhaps due to something else other than from eating a large meal. This could also be behavioral to indicate that he would like to eat more. This may self resolve. However, if this continues he should be evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a good night!
