# hiccups

If Moto eats too fast (which is always) and then chugs his water (which is often) he will sometimes get the hiccups.

They are very clearly hiccups. I have to then rub his tummy and get him to breathe slowly (I was a yoga teacher for years, but I never thought I would teach my dog yoga). Once I can…

They are very clearly hiccups. I have to then rub his tummy and get him to breathe slowly (I was a yoga teacher for years, but I never thought I would teach my dog yoga). Once I can get him to breathe with me, they go away.

Does anyone elses pooch get hiccups?

Not my current two, but Jack used to get hiccups from eating too fast. Maybe add a probiotic?

Ronan had hiccups as a pup, but those were very short lived.

Kaia does that all the time - drinks to much / fast then hiccups and will sometimes even spit-uo a bit.

Hilo does this too actually - he did it like 10 times at a Shiba meet up group once... It was kinda embarrassing.
