What's wrong with dogs hiccups?
Why do dogs hiccup? Dogs feel wind and cold from outside, and the cold and hot air goes against their will and causes hiccups. The dog drank too much cold water or ate food that was too cold. If the dog is too anxious to eat, you can give the dog some hot water, use a hot water bottle to apply heat to the chest and abdomen, or use toys to lure the dog to relieve hiccups.

Hiccups are mostly caused by several reasons.

⒈ Due to improper care, external wind and cold, cold and hot air are not smooth, as the saying goes, "drinking the cold wind" induces hiccups;

⒉ Due to improper diet, if the diet is not moderate, or eating too much raw and cold water or eating too cold food;

⒊Hiccups can also be induced by choking due to eating too quickly.
