Expert Answer

A twitching belly can have several causes. Eating too fast can swallow excess air and cause hiccups that make the belly twitch. Abdominal pain or the urge to vomit from pancreatitis, gastroenteritis, or parvovirus can make the dog whimper from discomfort, needing prompt veterinary examination and treatment.

Breathing problems can also make the belly twitch and require veterinary care.
