Is loud stomach growling normal for my dog after eating and moving?

Question

She ate some food & then got into bed. While she was getting her side ready (scratching at the blankets & moving them to however she wants them) I heard loud noises coming from her stomach - growling. Is this normal? Did this happen because she was moving around too much after eating? She’s having no other symptoms. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 9 years and 10 months old | 4 lbs

If it you only noticed it once, and she's otherwise totally normal, I wouldn't worry about it. If you're noticing a pattern of frequent loud stomach sounds, I would recommend discussing that with your vet to see if they would recommend any medical work up (it will depend on her overall health) or if you can try different dog foods -- perhaps probiotics or a bland prescription diet.
