Need a little mastiff help.

[NYDDB]

Did he swallow one of his siblings? I agree- his stomach looks enormous-- maybe worms.

He is a cutie, though; good luck with him.

Im gonna get him checked. Is it possible that picture was taken after a feeding and he may have been over fed?

One meal wouldn't make a tummy bulge like that. I was going to point that out too but had to get to work. He looks like a mastiff. With questionable breeders comes questionable health, pedigree, and temperament. Glad you are giving him a home and hopefully he lives a long happy life with you.

Yea hes gonna have a great home. I live way off the road and he will have many acres to roam and play and not have to worry about nothing. I have wanted one of these for many years. Thank you all for the help. EverythingEnglishMastiff i emailed you pictures of the parents earlier. Thank you for the help with the pictures earlier!

I'm also a new owner (a DDB) and I noticed the tummy in the picture too, but at the risk of sounding silly, I had always thought that they looked underweight if they had worms? I just ask because maybe that is a misunderstanding that I have and I want to learn as much as I can. Thanks for the feedback!

A heavy worm load will cause the belly to expand since the worms are filling up the intestines and pushing them out.

A disproportionate belly could mean a very bad case of worms. Which can also cause a lot of other problems if left untreated including malnutrition.

Our last pup's tummy was at least that big when we brought him home.... a bad case of worms was the diagnosis. Denna's wasn't so big... but we still got the "that's the worst case of worms I've ever seen" diagnosis (at the same vet... 10 years later).... both were treated and came through just fine. So, definitely get a puppy wellness check and treat for worms. Then find the best food you can find and only feed enough to keep him growing - but LEAN. You want him to grow nice and slow, so the bones and joints can keep up with the weight he puts on. Then... ENJOY!!! Yea PUPPIES!!!

All pups get worms...just need to treat appropriate. But that pic looks like worms to me. Safeguard is what I use. Very important to do 3 day in a row. . Fresh water good food and love will make that Lil dude live good long life

Hes a lazy little hound and i love it. He pooped earlier when i got home with him and there were no worms in his stool. Hes been farting real bad so i wonder if he could be bloated? Either way hes gonna get checked tomorrow.

Welcome to the world of mastiffs, they snore loudly and when they fart they can melt the paint off the walls. The gas is most likely a poor diet, and not the cause of the stomach.
