My puppy keeps getting hiccups then throws up bile. What should I do?

Question

My dog got hiccups (as he often gets) then threw up in the morning yesterday, he then threw up spit/bile 3 times one right after another in the evening. i gave him food and water a couple hours later because of his age and size I was worried about dehydration. He slept well and kept down his food. He peed and stooled in the morning and it looked very normal. Any diet or medical reccomendations? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 11 days old | 2.5 lbs

This is certainly unusual for such a young dog. I would recommend having him examined by your veterinarian. Some puppies will vomit if they have eaten too much, or ate something they shouldn't. I also see vomiting in cases of parasite infestation, so if has not been regularly wormed then he should be. Not all worms are visible in the feces, rather we can see eggs under the microscope when we complete a fecal exam. I hope this helps!
