Are weird stomach noises normal?

My 11-week old sheepdog makes weird stomach noises while sleeping. Is this normal?

Yes and no. Love those clear answers. As long as the end product is fine and nothing is coming back up the front, then girgles and squishes are fine. I find when MO is having tummy issues and throwing up or squirting out the back, the stomach noises are quite loud.
Some dogs just have loud tummies. Since I've always had large dogs, I frequently end up sharing the couch by laying with my head on a dog tummy, using it as a pillow. I'm fascinated by what I hear. I've also noticed that some dogs have pretty quiet, regular sounding digestive systems, and others sound like a full piece band doing a Sousa march, although eveything else is totally normal.

I'd ask your vet the next time you have a scheduled appointment, but as was said above, if everything else is working normally it's probably nothing.
I think I'd rather hear noises than not hear anything at all.
No noises from a digestive system (when putting ear against stomach area) is not a good thing.

When Brick seems under the weather, I always listen to his digestive tract.
I think it's a good indicator of problems.
Sometimes wierd stomach noisec can signal some gas...Make sure you are not feeding too soon after exercise...I agree, the end results is what matters :lol:
