My "educated guess" would be that your puppy is suffering from
megaesophagus. You should take him to the vet. Hold the puppy next to
your ear, you may hear some strange gurgling going on.
Unfortunately, this is not really curable. It is a genetic problem in
some breeds.

Good luck with your puppies.
