Puppy not eating, stomach gurgling, and gassy. When to see a vet?

Question

Jack didn’t eat dinner and i can hear his stomach gurgling from across the room (and he’s got some gas). When should I be concerned that this is more than an upset tummy? No diarrhea that we’ve seen. Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Poodle | Male | neutered | 3 months and 12 days old | 15 lbs

An upset stomach is a common problem with puppies and is usually self-limiting (will go away on its own). It may not be serious right now, but it's always possible that it could be the start of something serious. If Jack has any of the following, then he should see a vet: 1) Blood in diarrhea 2) Very watery diarrhea 3) Starts acting very depressed 4) Stops eating or drinking for longer than 24 hours. 5) Diarrhea lasts longer than three days. You can try feeding bland food (boneless chicken and rice is good). Feed small portions (1/4 cup or less) three times a day. Ensure fresh, clean water is always available. I hope this helps and Jack gets better soon.
