Hiccups

Hello, I wondered if anyone had any advice.

Deej gets hiccups - I've noticed at least a couple of times a week. Each session only lasts about 30 seconds, and normally it's just when he's lazing around.

He's not sneezing, coughing, choking, breathing abnormally. It doesn't distress or even bother him. If I call him he'll run over for nose rubs, and they disappear. It doesn't seem to be triggered by anything in particular either.

Do you think there is a cause, or just like human hiccups it's one of those things?

I always feel sorry for him cause there he is lounging around with his little body shaking with the hiccups, but he doesn't even bat an eyelid or twitch an ear! :D
 
Lots of mine get hiccups. Usually after pigging down food.... :roll:
As long as in all other respects he is OK dont worry about them

:D :D

Tappet seems to get the hiccups too. He seems to get them when he is resting on the sofa in the evening. Glad it doesn't seem to be something to worry about. :D
