Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Abdominal distension can be due to organ enlargement, such as a full stomach, ie. if Remi ate a lot of food recently. Other options include fluid within the abdomen, which would be less common in a younger puppy. As long as Remi isn't acting abnormally, i.e. no vomiting or retching, no diarrhea, or excessive lethargy, I recommend monitoring him tonight. If he still seems bloated in the morning or isn't acting himself, he should be seen by a veterinarian. Your vet may recommend x-rays to look at his stomach and other organs. I hope this is helpful!
