Puppies will often get some abdominal distention after eating. This will gradually decrease as they grow. It is very important however to watch for any signs of illness as distention can be pathologic as well. Monitor Sonu very closely for a poor appetite, vomiting, diarrhea or low energy levels. If these are seen they can indicate illness and he should see his veterinarian. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
