Puppy Hiccups?

I have a 10 week old puppy (lab, pit, shepard mix) who seems to get hiccups after every meal and occassionally after drinking. I am assuming this is fairly normal but want to check with you all in case there is something I need to keep an eye out for.

Hi, Tim,

I cannot answer your question as I don't think I ever had a puppy that young. However, do make sure the puppy isn't gulping food or water too fast. If you think he (or she?) is, put large stones in the dishes to slow the puppy down.

She might be.... I like the stones idea!
She does have a habit of picking-up stones and walking with them though

The stones should be too big for her to pick up. Otherwise, she might get a bit heavy with stones in her stomach!
