Can dogs get hiccups?

Hi I just posted another subject, but forgot to add that I was also wondering if dogs can get hiccups? Rayna gets what seems to be hiccups at least once a week. Is that normal?

Thanks

I remember once when i was a kid and I thought my chi had hiccups, but she was going into labor. (Not that that helps, but I thought it was funny)

 

Hi yes like humans all animals can get the hiccups they usually just pass.
One of my dogs gets them all the time usually after having a drink but they usually pass within a few minutes.

My Lab\Border Collie mix gets them when he gets overly excited or after he eats or drinks to fast.

 

My dogs get them too, Witt more than the others. They always pass.

 

Yeah they can, Lyla had them just last night. Some get them more than others. If the dog seems to be otherwise eating well and healthy, I don't think it is a big problem.

 

Nala used to get hiccups all the time when she was a puppy.

 

Thanks for all your responses!
I had dogs while I was growing up, but when I was a kid I didnt much pay attention to their medical health... I just wanted them to play!! And now that I have my own I just cant remember if thats normal or not, so I thankyou very much for putting my mind at ease

yep! mine has gotten them...

My puppy got hiccups the other day. They didn't seem to bother him much and went away after a few minutes. I was pretty surprised though.
