My 4-month-old puppy is bloated after eating too much. Is it serious?

Question

My dog appears more bloated than normal. I had a friend watch him while I was in a meeting today and she mentioned he ate some of her dogs food as well as his food. His abdomen is noticeable more distended however he still has normal bowel sounds and is able to defecate without difficulty. His heart rate is rapid and he is panting some however he is acting normal other than seeming more sleepy than usual. He is a 4 month old puppy up to date on shots and is healthy otherwise. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 6 days old

It may be that Teddy just ate too much. Keep a close eye on it, and if he starts trying to throw up but can't, has excessive drooling, starts pacing, or is anxious, have him seen by a vet immediately.
