Hi addi as Shadowboxer says hiccup in a puppy are normal and as with human babies with immature digestive systems they frequently occur. A thing that often helps is to give the puppy a little warm milk or a little honey in water.

Loki used to get hiccups all the time I hate hiccups and felt awful for him when he was really little especially when he sometimes cried if he'd had them awhile He doesnt really get them now think it was because he gulped his food so quick if your pup gulps its food you could try putting a ball or somethin in his food to make him slow down, this didnt work with Loki though he just took it out and carried on gulping!
