Is my 2-week-old puppy's squeaky breathing and pot belly normal?

Question

hello, i have a 2 week old newborn puppy. I am concerned about her breathing. She makes little squeaky sounds whenever she breathes. and she has a little bit of a pot belly. should i be worried? should i take her to a vet? Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female

I would take Card into the vet. The pot belly could mean she has intestinal worms, and the vet can prescribe a deworming treatment for her. As for the squeaking sounds when breathing, that could potentially be a sign of a respiratory infection, so have the vet check that out as well. Best of luck.
