| Here is a great lil article http://www.peteducation.com/article....&articleid=858 Puppies quite commonly get hiccups. When puppies eat and drink, they tend to ingest large quantities of air. Air, as it enters the esophagus and stomach, tends to trigger the hiccupping response. The authors have never seen an instance where hiccups was the result of any disease disorder. Consider hiccupping normal and common in dogs, and especially in puppies less than eight months of age. There is really nothing you can do for a puppy with hiccups, other than have him rest quietly until the hiccups are gone. If you find certain circumstances such as extreme excitement seem to trigger the hiccups, you can try to avoid those types of situations.

| Tucker gets them too - sometimes I try throwing his ball or saying "Want a cookie" - A guy I worked with would tell people when they had hiccups, "I'll give you five bucks if you can hiccup again." It just stopped them instantly! So I figure there must be some brain response thing to it, that's why I'm trying to figure out a way to say "I'll give you five bucks to do it again" to Tuck in a language he understands... I'll let you know if it works. Dana |

| A little bit of peanut butter on your finger will cure the hiccups instantly. A spoonful for humans will also cure them.

| Both Artie & Abigail get hiccups! Both Artie and abigail get the hiccups all the time, Artie not so much since he's about a year older. But Abigail gets them almost on a daily basis, she likes to eat and drink a lot of water. Or I noticed when she gets excited too? I don't get worried they usually go away by the themselves, I actually think it's kind of cute and funny at the same time. She always gives me a funny expression like "What's so Funny"? |

| Hiccups My Simba had hiccups while he was in his first year, especially. I have also heard that hiccups represent puppies growing, just like children. As an adult, the hiccups are not as common but still occur.

| Mine have had the hiccups but only once or twice. The peanut butter trick sounds like a good idea I've never heard of that before. I will try it next time.
