Dog hiccups: where does it come from?
As all dog owners have managed to notice, hiccups also occur in our four-legged friends. It affects both puppies and adults. Although this disease may seem insignificant, even – as in Buck’s case – even hilarious, it should not always be underestimated. Although this is generally not life threatening, it is a valuable clue for the owner of a furry dog.
The purpose of hiccups is to protect against the aspiration or expulsion of a foreign body from the airways. These are rhythmic contractions of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, just like in humans. Generally, its attack lasts a few minutes and disappears on its own. Most often he encounters puppies who learn all the functions of life and adapt to the world around them.
It is worth knowing that one of the most common causes of hiccups in a dog is too greedy food or drink, when a large amount of air enters the stomach. It can also be caused by water entering the airways and strong emotional arousal. Remember, however, that if your pet is clearly short of breath due to hiccups or if it occurs very often or lasts a long time, you must consult a veterinarian.
