My 1-month-old puppy is puffing air and can't vomit. Is he sick?

My one month old puppy seems to have trouble with his stomach, he kept puffing air. I think he swallowed something and sometimes he would act to vomit but cannot do so. What should I do? Right now he is trying to rest but he still does that puffing of air.

These are quite concerning signs and there is the possibility of a foreign body ingestion. An immediate check up is required to confirm this clinical suspicion and treat it appropriately. Antibiotics and x rays may be needed.
