| Puppies and hicups? Hello everyone... I have noticed in the last few days that my puppy Riley gets the hicups (I think that is what they are...) Has anyone every had a puppy with hicups? It happens for about a minute or so and they go away.... He gets to meet his grandpa today...looking forward to him meeting my parents... |

| No hiccups here, but I don't think it's a bad thing.

| this is my post from another hiccup thread 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 __________________ |

| My Jack is 5 months old and he still gets the hiccups It seems like he only gets them now if he gets excited, he doesn't get them as much as he used to though, maybe it is something they grow out of? |
