Answer
OK you have two different issues here. Belly rumbling can be from many things- just like with you. He is hungry, or he ate something that isn't agreeing with him, or he just has some air in his stomach. Belly rumbling alone is not a cause for a panic.

If he is vomiting or has diarrhea with that, I would worry. You didn't tell me how old this dog is, or if he has had his vaccinations, or if he is on special food or anything else about him. So I can only give you a generic answer. If he seems hungry then make him some boiled rice and give him about a 1/2 cup. That will make his gut settle down and stop the rumbling. Make sure the rice is cooled off before you give it to him.

Fleas are easily removed if you are willing to make the investment and time. First thing you should do is get a bottle of Ovitrol spray from the Vet's office where you normally take your dog. Spray him well and do it outside. Get a rag wet with the spray and wipe that over his face and under his jaw and around his ears because when the fleas sense a poison they run to the highest place and that is his head.
Once most of the adult fleas are dead or dying you need to take his bedding and wash it in really hot water with some bleach. This will kill the flea eggs that have fallen off the dog into the bedding.

Your main problem with fleas is not the adults but what's in your rugs and floors. The biggest issue are the eggs, cocoons, and larvae, which feed off the feces of the fleas. The eggs fall onto the floors and are in the fibers of the rugs and cracks of the floors. These hatch into the cocoon which nothing can penetrate and kill.
So you need a flea program that will- 1. Kill the adults. I use Ovitrol spray as it is an insect growth regulator, or IGR, and it kills the adults and then makes the eggs unable to hatch and the larvae unable to spin a cocoon.
2. You need an IGR to stop the growth of the millions of eggs in your rugs and floors and to stop the larvae from spinning a cocoon.
3. Once the cocoons that were already spun open and hatch (takes about two weeks) you will have a new crop of fleas that you can use the Ovitrol on to kill before they lay eggs.
4. You should put your dog on Sentinel tablets to sterilize the fleas so any eggs they lay won't hatch at all. Also, it stops the larvae from growing because they eat the flea feces and that is what has the IGR in it from the Sentinel.

If your dog is on a monthly heartworm pill now it is easy to switch to Sentinel and get twice the protection for your dog- from heartworms and fleas.

With some effort you can rid your house and yard of fleas. I have two cats and one dog that go in and out and there isn't a flea on my property.

Good luck with the fleas.
