German Shepherd's question about Lethargy

Question

she's not very lethargic but she has periodically what sounds like hiccups (your system wouldn't let me put that in)

Accepted Answer

Like humans, dogs may also get hiccups which is caused by spasms of the diaphragm which may be caused by swallowing of air (distending the stomach), diet and other causes (which are less likely). If you notice the hiccups are getting more frequent or you notice symptoms of loss of appetite, abdominal pain, abnormal breathing or anything else concerning you should visit your Veterinarian otherwise discuss it with them during your next annual visit.
