This could be due to something he ate, it could also be due to a bloat, possibly due to drinking too much water too fast. for now just monitor him closely, in most cases this symptom will resolve without treatment within a few hours. if it last for a long time or if he seems to be getting worse- take him to your vet in order to get it checked and treated.
