| I know all three of my dogs will get the hiccups when they get tired. I know when they start hiccuping that they are about to fall asleep! |

| This may be a ole wives tale but just as babies get them puppies do too and we always said.... It means they are growing ...LOL I think it is normal as long as it is not for a very long time like a whole day. |

| here is something I found on help.com :) 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. That’s all you can do |

| hiccups were a sigh that you are growing and Puppies get hiccupps when they're young because their lungs are growing and expanding. They hiccup to try and gasp in more air. (Which is why you'll see them yawn after the first couple hiccups, to try and draw in even more air to fill their lungs.) so its normal.. |
