Question
I got my puppy on chicken soup for the dog lovers soul and thanks for the help with the fish oil, my next problem is hiccups, my puppy gets the hiccups 2 or 3 times at day. At night almost every night she also gets pretty bad hiccups! Is this a sign of being hungry or eating to fast or maybe something else? I feed her one cup of food 3 times a day! She is a little over 3 months old! Thank u for your help and all you do
It's common for young pups to get hiccups frequently due to eating and drinking to fast.
If the pup is eating too fast and hiccuping- then the pup is not getting enough to eat.
Increase the amount and increase the times per day.
Feed the puppy a larger quantity and at minimum 4 times a day.
