He is makeing a sound like he is going to throw up and his little stomach moves when he is doing it but he does not throw up what could be wrong?

take him outside -his doggy instincts will tell him to eat grass which will give him the grit he needs to throw up. lots of animals do this-very natural. what he wants to throw up is probably mostly liquid and he's having trouble getting it up and out. you definately want to encourage him to vomit-he's body knows what it needs.I'm pretty certain he'll be fine tommorrow.

I agree with 7yrs2go, he is trying to throw up. If you don't want to go to the vet yet, let your dog roam around in a garden for quite a bit. Let him eat some grass (on it's own, don't force him to). It would help his digestion, or induce vomitting.
If he does vomit, don't worry; he might have eaten something that disagrees with his stomach. In this case, vomitting is a good thing.

He's trying to throw up. If he continues get him to a vet or at least call a vet and see if it could be an emergency.

Poor baby. Was he too hungry and he gulped his food down? Offer some water. it might settle down after a while. If it wont, maybe he is too hungry and he ate somethig like tissue or something on the floor and now it is bothering him. See what he does with a little food.

mine does the same thing. he is about 12 - 13 years old and was diagnosed with a heart valve problem along with something like emphasema ( dont think i spelled that right) if he has been doing this for awhile you need to take him to the vet. and please don't think that i have just diagnosed him because it could be something totally different. good luck

Any number of things might be upsetting his stomach. Get him to a vet as soon as you can.

My daughters puppy was doing this and the vet told her to give it a little Pepto-Bismo.It worked but you call your vet he knows your dog.
