Puppy with swollen tummy

I have an 8 week old pit bull puppy and she is on claramax for an infection and has been dewormed by a vet but her tummy is suddenly so swollen and hard and I'm concerned it could be something bad.

Agree with Karla!!  Yes, puppies can get bloat.

It could be something bad and I wouldn't risk it! Is there any vomiting? You need to head to an Emergency Vet ASAP! Intestinal blockage is the first thing that comes to mind for a puppy. (They will get into and eat anything!) Next would be "Bloat", but I do not know if it happens in puppies, I'd have to look that up....Good Luck and let us know......Karla
