Why is my dog making this sound when she sleeps? Should I be concerned?
Hey vets of reddit!
Sometimes when my dog is sleeping, she’ll make these almost hiccup-sounding noises that last for ~5 minutes and then stop. I would say it happens 1-2 times a week (that i notice)
Could this be something for me to be concerned about? or just dog hiccups haha
