Thirteen Week Old Puppy Doing Something Strange

Our very beautiful thirteen week old male puppy is doing something strange. A few times a week we hear what sounds like repeated burps - - ten or more, a few seconds apart - - as his diaphragm rises up and down. He seems unphased by it. This evening he was knawing away on a rawhide bone when it started, lasting about thirty seconds.

Does anyone know what this is? Is it regurg?

Hiccups!!! (I think)

I've read about this before... I think.


I hope it's nothing more than that.
Nice to see you around... We need pictures of the little one! :D
LOL.... sounds like hiccups... LOL....
my 16 week old does it too and it started right about 11-12 weeks of age. I believe its just the diaphragm "growing", more like adjusting to the pup. My pup still does it and quite a lot actually. It happens at random most of the time but it goes away after a while and it does bother her either. I wouldnt be too worried, as they grow into their size it will go away Im sure.
Sounds very much like hiccups. Two of mine did it for months (not for months straight 8O just from time to time for a few months). The vet seemed to think it had to do with them growing. It's like when you are a teenager and your arms and legs are extra long for your body. It's only worrisome if it effects their breathing or causes them discomfort.
definatly the hicups einy got them too

hic hic
:D

zoe
Well, it's nice to know that what we thought was un-usual, may be usual.

Now, if we can only get this little bugger to stop eating wood chips. Talk about adding roughage to your diet - - this guy has his own approach to the food pyramid.
hahahah ! Well, they will be puppies!

I'm glad we were able to put your mind at ease a little bit. Remember, if you're still concerned, if something still doesn't sit right with you, give your vet a ring.

Thanks, and oh yeah.....

PICTURES PLEASE! :D
