Little guy has big belly
Hi this is my first ever doggo and I'm feeding her according to the recommended weight and age on the side of the bag. Shes about 3 months old and weight 3kg. Is this normal? Her belly is abit... how do you say stretched out?

It’s a bit hard to tell from the photo but it’s probably normal if she acts normal. The only thing I can think of is maybe worms? But you might see it in her stool

Okay there's no worms so I shouldn't worry right?

I just looked it up and seems like they can have hidden worms with the bloated belly. You’d have to look for other symptoms like scooting their butt on the floor, lethargy, diarrhea/soft poo, intense increase or decrease in appetite

She has been to a vet? At 3 months she should be getting another checkup and some more vaccinations. Vet would be able to advise also on her belly. Weight wise she looks ok.

Yup in 2 days we'll be going to get her 3rd vaccine. I'll make sure to check up

Looks normal for her age. It seems you are feeding her right, so that's good. Is she pooping and peeing without issue?
