No, but they get a "stable vice" that consists of a horse sucking in air. Some people put a "cribbing strap" around the horses throat in hopes of preventing the problem, but there is no sure solution. (stable vices are caused by lack of excersize, hunger, boredom, etc.)

NO.

YES they can get hiccups it is sometimes caused when they eat to fast my horse got it today it actually quite funny lol

Yes, it is called thumps. it gets its name from following the rythmatic pattern of the horses heart. It occurs from over exercise and or dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. The spasm of the heart creates the thumps which is why it follows the pattern of the horses heart beat. Your horse will get pulled from a show due to this but a simple fluid IV and rest can cure the thumps.

No.

Actually horses can get hiccups, but when they do it is called 'Thumps' due to the sound it makes. Thumps can be caused by many things, but most typically by dehydration / fluid loss after strenuous exercise and by low blood calcium levels. Other causes can include lactation, overeating, transport stress, tetanus, and Blister beetle toxicosis. Thumps is usually accompanied by full body twitching or spasms and usually a fever. Thumps is most commonly seen in racehorses and endurance horse. Thumps are very rare in horses and many equine veterinarians never even see a patient with them. However if your horse does display the symptoms of Thumps, you should call the vet as quickly as possible and provide the horse with clean fresh water.

Can your stomach growl when you are pregnant?

I believe so. If you need food, so does a baby, and in the womb, that disgusting lump on your stomach does need it too. When you eat, some of it goes to that lump, and if you don't eat, you get so hungry and your stomach must growl louder than ever. plz send a vid of a pregnant stomach growling on youtube for me. -IQ
