I would give him at least 6 small meals..and use cherrios's for treats in between. They will not fill him up and still be a yummy to make him happy..soon he will learn he is ok and can trust you to feed him with he is hungry.
The reason his belly swells is because he is gulping air due to eat too fast.. |
Great advice! I agree. This sounds like a doggie that didn't get all he wanted to eat for a while. I'm not criticizing the breeder, but not all puppies get enough. But it really sounds like this puppy is desperate for food and as a result, he overeats and bloats.
Small meals, some Benebac (or other probiotic), exercise and treats between meals should get this puppy sorted out. Exercise does wonders for the digestion!
