1. Eating too fast
If you eat food too fast, it may speed up the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract and cause hiccups. During the hiccupping process, it may cause abdominal muscles to spasm and twitch. This is a normal phenomenon and requires adjusting the speed of eating. Generally, no medication is required.
2. Calcium deficiency
Usually caused by insufficient absorption and excessive destruction of calcium in the body, it will cause a lack of a large amount of calcium in the body, affecting the normal development of bones. It may occur during walking. It will cause the bones to heat up, causing the body to twitch. It needs to be improved by taking pet calcium tablets under the guidance of a doctor, which can supplement calcium and help the bones return to normal.
3. Parasitic infection
It may be caused by frequent consumption of mold-infected food. Symptoms such as anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss may occur easily, and mold food contains a large number of parasites. The eggs will enter the stomach through the esophagus, and then hatch into parasites. When the number of parasites in the body gradually increases, it will cause convulsions in the body, and you need to take deworming drugs as directed by your doctor.
4. Hair bulb syndrome
If you suffer from hair bulb disease, it will cause a large amount of hair to appear in the stomach. Generally, it will not be absorbed by the body and will be excreted through vomiting. During the process of vomiting, the abdominal muscles will be too tense, resulting in twitching. You can follow the doctor's advice and improve it by inducing vomiting and defecation.
