The puppy's usual hiccups are considered to be caused by eating too fast, getting cold in the stomach, indigestion, gastroenteritis and other causes. This situation is related to bad eating habits. If the symptoms are serious, it is recommended that the owner take the puppy to a regular pet hospital for treatment in time, and conduct standardized and effective treatment with the help of a doctor, which can effectively relieve the symptoms.

1. Eat too fast

If the puppy is not controlled during the eating process, the puppy may hiccup due to the eating speed of the puppy, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. In daily life, the owner should control the eating speed of the puppy, which can effectively improve symptoms.

2. Stomach cold

Consider that the puppy eats cooler foods, which may stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, causing the stomach to catch cold, and symptoms such as stomach cramps, hiccups, and pain. If this happens, the owner can help the puppy to apply hot compress to the abdomen, which is of some help to relieve symptoms.

3. Indigestion

may be caused by a puppy eating a lot of food that is difficult to digest, which increases the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, leading to gastrointestinal dysfunction, and symptoms such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and excessive exhaust. If this happens, you can take gastric and digestive drugs for pets under the guidance of a doctor, which can help relieve the puppy's long-term hiccups.

4. Gastroenteritis

If a puppy eats expired or spoiled food, it may cause bacteria to invade the gastrointestinal tract and reproduce in large quantities, causing inflammatory lesions to occur, and symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and hiccups may occur. It is recommended that the owner take the puppy to a regular pet hospital for examination in time and treat it symptomatically based on the examination results. During this period, you should pay attention to a balanced diet of puppies, and their diet should be light and easy to digest, such as spinach, cabbage, meat paste, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the abdominal warmth, which is beneficial to health.
