My little boy has been prone to hiccups lately (I believe it's because he refuses to get out of the hammock when he gets a drink so his front paws are on the floor but his rear is still in the hammock). Last night he got them and he still had them this morning (one hiccup a minute or so). Is there any way to help alleviate them once he gets them? About 4am he would hiccup and then let out a little whimper like it was hurting him. I took him out of his cage and let him sleep in my bed so he would stop waking up his sister and the poor boy hiccupped all morning. He wasn't whimpering like that when I got him up at 8am but he was still hiccupping (not as often). He just looks and sounds so pathetic. They had stopped by noon but all night is a long time to be hiccupping. He's slept most of the afternoon because he's so tired from last night.
