Dr. Elizabeth · Accepted Answer

I recommend to have Barrack seen by his veterinarian today. The stomach can distend on very young puppies from a meal but this is usually not noticeable after 12 weeks old. Stomach distention can be from worms or something more sinister such as fluid accumulating in the abdomen (which is serious). The doctor will need to palpate the abdomen as well as give Barrack and over-all exam to determine the cause. The doctor will need to know if you have seen any other signs of illness such as not eating well, vomiting, diarrhea, trouble breathing, weight loss or being abnormally tired. I hope this helps to at least point you in the right direction. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
