3 month old puppy sticking out tongue and making noises

Why is my puppy sticking out the tongue all the way out and making funny noises, like he is dehydrated or something?

He got water all the time and been peeing few times a day, but started making the noises today and I don't know what it means?






Hi Edzia
I'm afraid I can't say what's causing your pup to behave this way, but it's not normal and he needs to be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible.

It could be that he's got something stuck in his throat or windpipe, or perhaps he's very hot, or stressed.. it sounds as though he's having difficulty breathing and that's serious.

Please get him checked out asap. Best of luck, hope he's doing much better soon.

Hi there! Thanks for your reply/answer! I was little scared as it's my 1st puppy & didn't know what it meant!? I gave him some water that evening using syringe as he didn't want to drink from his water bowl and he seemed to be ok afterwards and since then he hasn't been doing that! He is chewing on everything he gets as we go outside! I found out about puppies eating stones on your website and how serious that is/can be and I know he was chewing on some before, but not sure if he swallowed any!? Hope not!
I will be seeing a vet for the 1st time next week as shots are due and keep an eye on him in meantime!
I forgot to add he is a Papillon puppy:)
Thanks!
