No that is only in humans

I'm not sure animals can actually have Down syndrome, but they can always have birth disorders. Although there is also one recorded case of a cat believed to have down syndrome.

'Down's Syndrome' is technically when there is three 21 chromosomes in a human. Therefore, no other animals can have 'Down's Syndrome' specifically. Other animals can, however, have three of other chromosomes and have a similar physical defect, although they rarely are able to survive in the wild.
