Well, when my dog gets hiccups, I press two fingers in front of the back legs but behind the rib cage. In other words, where the hips are, you must place your two fingers in front of the joint and massage the area. You may have to move around a little depending on the dog, but my dog's hiccups end about 20 seconds after the massage. Do not put much pressure on it and don't ask me how I know this! I just pet my dogs and when he had hiccups, I would massage him all over until I found an area that would stop the hiccups. I also know 3 acupuncture points which are all over the ears, the hips like to get rid of hiccups, and to place two fingers on either side of the muzzle under the eyes and be very calm. This calms them down and I learned these on my own. I'm only 12!!!!
If a teaspoon of sugar works for humans and it does. Could such a remedy hurt trying it on a dog? I think not.
it depends what dog u have i guess, i have a Lab, when he gets the hiccups, they're pretty quiet. they don't really sound like barks.
No my dog gets them maybe once a week
Yes a dog can get hiccups. My Bishon Frise use to get them especially when she was a puppy. Eating, swallowing too much air and playing hard. I'd rub her back or tummy and it would eventually go away.
Yes, I have a chihuahua that gets the hiccups. It's too cute. Yes. Dogs can get hiccups just like humans, especially puppies. The hiccups should go away shortly, although if they last all day, you should probably consult a veterinarian. Dog hiccups are usually caused by something they ate or drank, excitement, stress, or a stomach disorder.
My female puggle gets hiccups, its just like as if & when we get hiccups, but not that loud! for example she will be sitting there & then start to get hiccups and since her mouth is closed her head goes back (kinda like when one sneezes) and her belly expands and you hear a slight hiccup, it will happen a few times in a row. She did it more frequent when she was a puppy and now it rarely happens.
How am I supposed to know I don't keep track of what color my hiccups!πΆππ
My hiccups are dehabilitating.
When you laugh you breathe in a lot of air and that causes hiccups
Around 430 million hiccups.
Hiccups are started when you swallow too much air.
Give your dog a belly rub above the navel, and below the ribcage. The belly hiccupping under your hand will feel strange but that's the onle safe way to do it. If the hiccups keep going for more than a day,you should probably call your vet. :)
