Hi. So cute! So puppies can bloat after eating some. But I would be more concerned about a parasite causing this. Puppies very commonly have GI parasites and it makes them bloat like that. I would have his fecal checked as soon as you can! Also, some parasites can rarely be transferred to us humans, so until a fecal sample is ruled negative, be careful. Lots of handwashing before eating, after playing with puppy, after picking up feces, etc. Woudlnt want to pick one up from him. Your veterinarian will prescribe the correct medications once the fecal results are in of he needs it. Good luck
