He puked today and has been hiccuping for a couple hours
It's not uncommon for puppies to occasionally experience vomiting and hiccups. Vomiting can occur due to various reasons such as eating too quickly, changes in diet, or mild gastrointestinal upset. On the other hand, hiccups in puppies are generally harmless and can happen because of excitement, eating or drinking too quickly, or simply as a normal part of their development.
If he is vomiting, make sure he has access to fresh water and try to keep him calm and rested. It might be helpful to withhold food for a few hours to allow his stomach to settle. After that, you can reintroduce a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, in small amounts.
Hiccups usually resolve on their own. To help, you can encourage Snickers to drink water slowly or gently massage his chest.
Keep a close eye on him for any additional symptoms like lethargy, persistent vomiting, diarrhea, or signs of distress. If these symptoms appear or if the vomiting and hiccups persist for more than a day, it would be wise to take him to a vet to rule out any underlying issues.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you."
