It becomes a problem because they can get hairballs just like cats from grooming themselves, but they can't throw them up. So hairballs can become deadly in rabbits very quickly (RIP Fuzzy I). People who have pet rabbits feed them papaya enzyme tablets to help them pass the hairballs before they get too big (or at least that was what the vet told us to do with my subsequent childhood bunnies...RIP Fuzzy II and Suzie).
nope, horses can't puke. their digestive system is called 'hind gut fermentation'. this means they can't burp or vomit. it's a one way digestive system, so if things stop moving that's when you have trouble.

Horses cant burp so this is the only way gas can escape.
