remy gets the hiccups every now and then. i'm not saying she's always got the hiccups, but its just that she gets it more often than me or you would. she's 9 weeks old now, coming up 10. is it a problem, or common in growing pups?

i'm probably going over the top, but she's my little pup, and i dont want there to be a problem and ignore it.

Very common in growing pups, nothing to worry about as far as I'm aware, both my 2 did it and I know loads of others that did it too. She's just growing :-)

I always think it's funny when my 'girls' get big huge hiccups in their sleep. ;-) ;-) :D :D And they're adults :P

This, in a round-a-bout way is how my Fennel got her name. When she was first born she hiccupped and continued it for ages. I gave her some gripe water (which stopped it) and is made of Dill. Dill did not sound right but Fennel looks like Dill so that is what I called her (better than gripy anyway). I was not going to keep her but her sister who I names Spirit but Fennel chose me so she stayed and the name stuck!

The owners in our puppy classes often find their puppy has grown a bit after a bout of hiccuping, so don't forget to check that collars aren' too tight ;-)

I have a 12 week old Ridgeback who wolf's his food down, and a regular as clock work gets hiccups! I now give him Gripe Water (stuff you use for baby's) mixed into milk or even his dinner and it does seem to help. Eventually though they like baby's will grow out of it.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
