In short, probably yes.

But, by inverse comparison ... Bears and Horses both do sweat, just as we
do. I don't believe Cats, Dogs or Rats do (don't know about the last one).
Monkey's also sweat btw, as do most of the simian-categories that I can
think of right now. I don't recall the variations of such involved, but it
is there.

Now admittedly, this is a pretty interesting question because of their
physiology were permitting enough of such (hey, it's the Awakening,
anything's possible, we know that). Personally, seeing as how all of the
"metahuman" category derived from Human genetic stock in some manner though,
I'd say they do sweat.
BUT, damn wouldn't that be disgusting???? For some reason, the smell of
"wet dog" leaps to mind... which is fine for a dog, but for a Metahuman???
