The behavior of puppies often causes concern among owners, but this does not always mean the presence of a disease.

Young animals continue to explore the world and taste everything they come across – grass, earth, furniture, and so on.

As for hiccups, it is not always possible to understand why they started.

We suggest trying to understand this issue in more detail.

What could be the causes of hiccups?

The first reason may be eating too much and too quickly – try dividing the portion into several parts.

The puppy may also have been involved in active play for too long, or he may have been whining, agitated, or stressed for too long.

The cause may be extreme heat or cold - hiccups are caused by a spasm of the diaphragm. Try giving the puppy a light massage and offer him water.
