My puppy hiccups, eyes closed, and is hard to wake. What's wrong?

Question

My puppy was asleep and I noticed she was hiccuping and when I grabbed her she could not open eyes and had this hiccup like movement , it was like she was up and sturdy but couldn’t open her eyes , I’m not sure if she was just tierd but I thought it was weird she had that weird hiccup , and wouldn’t open eyes , could be nothing but I just wanted to make sure and see if anyone has heard of something similar and what it could possibly be ? ( she’s fine now after I poured a little water on her face. Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 23 days old | 4 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This sounds very strange and I wouldn't say it is normal. Possible causes are extreme tiredness, but at almost 12 weeks of age that is strange too. The fact you had to pour water on her face to wake her up isn't normal. I would worry about a seizure, a liver shunt or low blood sugar. If she isn't eating well and/or is having vomit or diarrhea and isn't as active as she has been she should be seen by a Vet. If this occurs again try to video tape it and take her the vet. I wish Peach the best!
