they might be more sensitive in certain situations, and any animal with a diaphragm can get the hiccups. all hiccups are is when the diaphragm becomes out of sync and spasms, usually visible through the animal's belly.
There is no obvious reason why we get the hiccups from time to time. Hiccups are an involuntary contraction of the diaphragm (an extremely important muscle used for breathing that separates the chest cavity from the abdomen). Hiccups seemed to be related to eating or drinking too fast, being nervous or excited, or having an irritation in the stomach. In some VERY rare cases, the hidden cause of hiccups can be pleurisy (inflammation of the membrane lining of the lungs and chest cavity), pneumonia, some disorders of the stomach or esophagus, pancreatitis, alcoholism, or hepatitis. Any one of these conditions can bring irritation of the diaphragm or the phrenic nerves that give the diaphragm it's the irritation that causes the hiccups.
Everyone experiences hiccups from time to time, especially after eating too much food or drinking too much alcohol. But some people get hiccups frequently for no apparent reason, and the attacks can last a long time and be distressing.

Sporadic hiccups are usually harmless. But persistant hiccups may be the sign of something more serious. If you hiccup for a few minutes at a time you'll probably be fine, but if you have hiccups for a large amount of time, see a doctor.
Peanut butter stops hiccups. A non-allergic child can be given a small amount of peanut butter to calm any esophageal irritations.
