Subject: hiccups

Question
Sorry my first q must have been lost.  My q was about my 5 mth bull mastiff.  She gets the hiccups every day with out fail and is was wondering if this means anything and why this may happen?  Also she doesn't bark at all is ths also normal?

Answer
Hi,
    I guess it must have been lost.  Getting hiccupps for pups is quite common, though, I have never seen one that has gotten them everyday.  Not barking at all may be a problem, I really am not sure.  She would have to have a full physical exam by a vet to know for sure that she is healthy.  But, no not barking at all is not normal for any dog except the barkless breed.  Good Luck, Jen
