need your help

i have a 11 week old pup who keeps haveing hicups is this nomel am really worried there might be some thing worng

Could it be he is eating or drinking too fast? A tennis ball in the food bowl and raising it off the ground may help.

It's actually quite a common thing because their reflux control isn't fully developed (I think that's what it's called, anyway!).

You could do as jstaff says, or just leave it & let him grow out of it. I think it's quite sweet!

Zeus used to do this all the time whenever he drank water and specifically when he ate his food, he didnt take a second to breathe while doing so.

So I got one of these anti gulp bowls from Pets At Home and hes been OK since as he has to stop, breathe and figure out how to get his food:

Yep. Tore great chunks out of it & swallowed some of them.

Idiot dog.

Bailey used to get hiccups everyday, mostly after eating or drinking but he's 10 and a half months now and he's grown out it!

I almost forgeotten about this. Rocky used to get the hiccups in the morning first thing after waking. He has just about stopped doing it every morning now but does occasionally.

yes it is nomel after a walk not with food thats y i was worried but i am gettign one of those bowls see if that helps

Tilly still gets them now but much less than as a pup

I've never heard a dog with hiccups i feel under privileged

Marley still gets them even though we now use a raised feeder. just don't pat him if his face is near yours, my god it stinks

Bella got them a lot when she was small. She's 11 months now and still gets them but not as often

thank you all for your help i will try a feeder see if it helps if not then i will just leave it
