Hiccups!

[Directorthiang]

So during playtime tonight, Powder suddenly climbed into my lap and pushed his face into the crook of my elbow. I was taken aback, especially when he suddenly lurched a bit and then barked. I was confused, trying to figure out what had scared him, when he suddenly lurched again and barked AGAIN. It finally dawned. My little boy had the hiccups and they were scaring him! lol :laughitup: He kept hiccuping and barking at himself for a minute or two while I just patted his back. I'd never seen a chin do this before.

Some of my chins do that once in a while Does anyone know why chins hiccup? It is very infrequent for it to happen to only a very few of my chins

Fuzzy had this very thing going on the other night. He was very unhappy with it as well.

Did tapping his back help?

I don't think so. I think they just passed on their own, but sitting him upright instead of allowing him to hunch down in fear may have helped. lol Poor guy.

He'll get over it!
Give him a big cuddle for me!

My boy Polo once had hiccups. My boyfriend was trying to sleep and got so frustrated he moved his cage into the bathroom. They went away but my boyfriend said Polo didn't sound to happy about them.
