Well, hiccups are a way for her body to react to get the thing down. That's about all I know. I know how to do the little doggie heimlich, but if she is breathing then she should be ok. Tbone does this sometimes where he will just gulp down something that is too big for him, and he will sulk for a while because I know it isn't comfortable in his little tummy, but his insides will do their jobs and he will work it out eventually. Hopefully this is what your puppy will do. She should be drinking plenty of water, but I know you can't force her to do that. Maybe set out some fresh water in a bowl other than where she normally gets it with a few ice cubes in it. My dogs always drink readily from fresh chilled water. best of luck, my heart goes out to you!
