I have noticed that Lillie hiccups alot. It mostly happens when she is sleeping and lasts several seconds. Is this normal? I think I will mention it to the vet the next time I bring her in.
I know Damisi hiccups a bit. She was sleeping with me the other morning and I felt hiccup 1, hiccup 2 and the blah! She threw up right in my lap. Good thing I was ready for it!!
I hate when they'd puke in my bed, especially on a work night at 2-3am. If they'd start with that gagging/warning sound I'd jump up and grab them or stick some paper or something under them.

My Kembe had the freckles on her neck - more pronounced in summer months w/ the sun and also as she aged. I use to call her my little 🦒 giraffe. 😂
To give you an idea of the contrast between Basenjis and Border Collies, my BC once spit out a pill, I said "Blackie" in a disapproving tone, and he picked it up from the floor and swallowed it!

Read this comment from @morgansc within this post dated May 30, 2019, 7:49 AM. It answers your question. Ideally it is best to wait until age 24 months but no early than 18 months.
