seems like hiccups

My puppy is 13 w/o and he does this thing like when we hiccup. I've given him plenty of water and he hasn't eaten anything out of the ordinary. This has been a problem for several weeks. Any ideas what it could be? Has anybody seen something like this with their own pup?

Puppy hiccups are very common! They can get them when exited, or after eating, or ? Nothing to worry about, and he will outgrow them as he gets older. If I remember correctly, it has to do with the diaphragm still being a work in progress.

Yup, perfectly normal. We often joke around our house, that when a pup hiccups, it's GROWING!!
