My puppy's bloated belly sounds hollow. When should I see a vet?

Question

Hi there, My puppy has had a very bloated belly since yesterday late evening, about 9pm. It is now 5am and his belly is still bloated and sounds hollow when I tap on it. He has passed normal stools, isn’t distressed and I am hearing gut sounds. Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund miniature | Male | 5 lbs

If his abdomen is still bloated then he should be examined by a vet to determine the cause and treat. He could have a parasite and your vet can test a stool sample and prescribe medications to treat.
