Hmmm... good question.
Found this link. More info on hiccups/hiccoughs/singultus than i needed to know. http://www.emedicine.com/emerg/topic252.htm
I knew long time ago that hiccups can be psychosomatic, but what if you're completely happy and preoccupied when they start up? (I just wonder if the nerve thing in my brain that sets mine off is related to the same section of brain that gives me my tachycardia. ...I mean they're both misfiring that set off a muscle spasming at a rate that isn't proper.)

And, yes, sugar DOES work very well.

Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
