Oh gawd yes! Poor Polo was hiccuping for at least 30 minutes one night. Poor boy was so irritated. I was going to have my BF take him to the vet but they stopped as soon as we made the decision.

Yes, Jemma was popcorning hard around the cage the other day because I put in her fleece tube after having the cover washed and she went to drink really fast and suddenly started hiccuping. She did it for a couple of minutes and was SOOO MAD! It was cute but at first I freaked out because I thought she had choked or something. After that she'd take a drink sloooowly and give the water bottle her special evil eye lol

when they hiccup is it dangerious for them?

 

[Cuddlebug]

Why would it be dangerous? It is something that the body does naturally.

 

[Peep_erz]

It shouldn't be. I was just a paranoid, first time chin owner when Polo had them and because they were going on for a while I thought to bring him to the vet.

 

[Cuddlebug]

I can understand that.

My goodness, I've had Tinkerbell for 2 years now and I've never heard her hiccup! I had no idea that they did, lol. I think Tinkerbell has too much attitude to hiccup, lol
