Puppy has hiccups and vomiting

Thanks for reaching out about your puppy's hiccups and vomiting. Let's dive into what might be going on. Puppies often get hiccups due to excitement, eating too quickly, or even from temperature changes. These are usually harmless and self-limiting.



However, vomiting alongside hiccups is worth watching more closely. Possible causes could include dietary indiscretions (such as eating something they shouldn't have), a mild gastric upset, or a more serious condition like an infection or gastrointestinal obstruction.



For now, ensure that your puppy has plenty of fresh water to keep hydrated, and consider offering smaller, more frequent meals instead of large ones. Avoid giving any new foods or treats that could further upset their stomach.



Monitor for signs such as lethargy, persistent vomiting, diarrhea, blood in vomit, or refusal to eat, as these could indicate something more serious. If these symptoms persist or your puppy seems unwell, it's important to seek veterinary attention promptly.



In the meantime, I suggest booking a video consult with Dial A Vet so we can see your puppy and discuss their symptoms in more detail. This will help us determine the best next steps and ensure your furry friend gets the care they need.
