I take Chester out a few times a day for playtime. For some reason every few days, when I take him out for the very first playtime of the day, he gets hiccups! They only last for about a minute or so, and they don't seem to be causing any discomfort. It's like he doesn't even notice them. He's always very excited/ bouncy for the first playtime of the day. Is it the sudden activity/ increased breathing that's causing these hiccups, or is it something that I should be concerned about?
Other notes: He is healthy (as far as I can tell), young, eats and drinks and poops on a regular basis and is very active, social and happy. He's less than a year old, standard gray chin. He doesn't get hiccups any other time than first playtime of the day on some days. I've looked at his nose and listened to his breathing every few days at different points of the day, and I don't hear him struggling to breathe or notice any discharge from his nose. ::shrug:: I don't know what to think!
