Question
I have a 2 year old mix breed 5 lb dog. This morning he was making little noises like he was ucomfortable and I felt his stomach and it was harder than usual he seems a little different my daughther said she feed him a piece of boneless chicken and potatoes last night and I changed his food to a complete nutrition brand last week he just doesn't seem to be himself like his in pain. I'm so worried.

Answer
If your dog's stomach is tight and swollen you need to get him into a vet right away. This can be a real emergency if his stomach twists.

I would just call your vet immediately and get him in. It could be a bacterial overgrowth which your vet can give him something to help with that.

But by all means, please get him into the vets.
