Hiccups?

[Codys ma]

Puppy hiccups several times a day are completely normal. Try coaxing him to drink a bit of water, that usually helps. Otherwise, just enjoy them! They will soon be replaced by rottie gas!

One of my male pups did this when he was young. Seemed like everytime I went outside he was hiccuping. Scaring him didn't work either. Just kidding. I found it weird that he did it, but his sister didn't. He eventually outgrew it. No harm done.

My 6 month old rottie gets hiccups a few times a day. He eats a premium dog food and very little treats. The vets says it's just his age. Is this common?

Thanks so much for all the comments. This is sure a great forum. I know hiccups are not a big deal but it is still nice to know it is common for rotties. P.S. I've already had the misfortune to experience the gas!

All of you who are victims of "Rotten Gas" go buy some "Beano". There's a pet version also , but this stuff works. Not to mention that you can also use it on your spouse and life is great !

Most pups& Dogs get Hiccups if there food & water are not Elevated .

Troy,
Your post was very interesting, I never realized elevating his food and water might help. I actually ordered an elevated stand last month. I'm just waiting for the woman to finish it. It's so cute. It's a rottie! (of course)
