Final Update: Puppy continues to have a big belly after deworming

I completely understand why you're worried about your puppy's big belly, especially after deworming. Puppies can have round bellies for a few different reasons, even after being treated for worms. One possibility is that your puppy might have overeaten or still has some gas or mild constipation. Another reason could be fluid retention, which can occasionally happen with liver, kidney, or heart issues, although these are less common in young pups.



At home, you can try gently massaging your puppy's belly, which might help relieve gas. Ensure they're eating an appropriate puppy food in controlled portions and drinking plenty of water. It's also a good idea to keep their activity levels suitable for their age and breed since too much or too little can affect their digestion.



Watch for signs of distress, such as vomiting, diarrhea, a lack of appetite, or lethargy—these could indicate a more serious issue. If your puppy's belly gets bigger or feels hard to the touch, it's important to seek veterinary care as these could be signs of a more serious condition.



To ensure your puppy's health is on the right track, I recommend booking a video consult with a Dial A Vet professional. They can provide more personalized advice and help decide the best next steps for your furry friend.
