hiccups can be obtained by most mammals. It is an involuntary contraction of the diaphragm, and if you've got one, you can potentially get the hiccups.

YES! Hiccups can occur in dogs and cats, even more frequently in puppies and kittens. If the hiccups appear abnormal, more frequent, or persistant, you should contact your veterinarian.

I think all creatures that have a diaphram can get hiccups.
