appearance of stomach

Question
Hello! I have recently took in a 3 week old female red nose pit bull and her coat is very clean.  I do seem to have one concern. Her stomach seems to be "swollen". I'm not sure if that's the correct word, but the appearance of her "swollen" stomach worries me.  What should I do? Could she have worms? I would greatly appreciate any information you may have to offer me. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Eva Campos

Answer
Congratulation on your new puppy! The best thing to do since she is so young is to get her to the vet right away. Sometimes young puppies look "swollen" because they are just full of food. She might have worms, but I wouldn't know for sure. Take her to a vet and get her chceked out. That is the best thing for you to do.
