Hiccups

BassetHoundHank · 07-22-2011, 07:47 PM

Hank hiccups a lot. He'll just be playing and then all of a sudden HICCCCUPP and he'll stop in his tracks and just sit down until the hiccups stop. Happens all the time and it's so cute. I feel sorry for him sometimes, though, because he'll be eating a treat and all of a sudden they'll start and he can't finish it.
He's hiccuping right now, matter of fact

Who else gets those darned annoying hiccups?

When that happens to one of mine, I rub their tummies, and that seems to help.

Yep they all get them A LOT when they are babies. He will grow out of it

It is kinda cute though.

Yah, Boomer had the hiccups a lot as a baby, it was rather funny to see his body bounce up and down.

bowser had the hiccups ALL the time. I would rub his belly, but that didn't seem to help...so i'd go "BAHHH!" and scare him a bit, and they'd stop right away! Then he'd want to play because mama scared him *lol* He did grow out of them though...so cute, but he would hiccup so hard i used to feel so sorry for him!

Both of mine got them really bad when they were puppies. They outgrew it but they still sometimes get them as adults. Just for a few minutes really.
