Kittens and Hiccups

Written by LeAnn R. Ralph


Continued from page 1

"You don't have to do anything,"repparttar vet said. "They'll go away on their own."

Not long after that -- sure enough,repparttar 125688 kittens got hiccups. And sure enough, after a while,repparttar 125689 hiccups went away.

That was more than 13 years ago. I still haverepparttar 125690 "kittens" (three of them, anyway; one died in October 2004 from chronic renal failure). And even today, as adult cats, they will occasionally getrepparttar 125691 hiccups. The hiccups last for a half a minute or a minute and then that'srepparttar 125692 end of it.

So -- if your kitten (or cat) develops hiccups, don't worry about it. The hiccups will go away sooner or later.
