What should I do if my Rhodesian Ridgeback hiccups? Dogs sometimes hiccup just like people. Especially young puppies, hiccups occur more frequently. It’s okay to hiccup occasionally, but if your dog hiccups all the time, it’s time to pay attention.

Most of the hiccups in pet dogs are related to gastrointestinal problems. For example, eating some food that is too cold every day; or eating too much in one meal, too quickly; or eating some irritating food, causing hiccup muscle spasm. ; In these cases, the dog will hiccup, and every time the puppy hiccups, his stomach will twitch, and he looks uncomfortable.

Under normal circumstances, dog hiccups will not affect physical health and will usually disappear automatically after a while. However, parents should pay attention to one thing. If the dog hiccups for a long time, or even hiccups non-stop for more than one day, then it should be taken to the hospital.

Generally speaking, hiccups in dogs are related to the above reasons. To prevent dogs from hiccups, you only need to control their diet and eating habits. If you want to give your dog some delicious food, don’t give it food that is frozen or cold or has a pungent taste. At the same time, do not do strenuous exercise immediately after your dog eats. In addition, the owner may wish to pat the dog on the back and massage the belly. Generally, the dog will stop hiccups soon.
