My husky has loud belly noises, breathing attacks, and seizures. Why?

Question

Hello. Im Adanlit. I have a 2 years old female husky and i believe that there is something going on with her. About a year ago, she has some very very loud noises in her belly, and always makes her self throw up by eating grass. Also, she gets this breathing attacks where she cant breath at all. Like a reverse sneeze but it happens too often. And lastly, shes had 2 seizures in the past year. We taken her to multiple vets and they all say she is fine. But I disagree. Please help us. Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | unspayed | 44 lbs

Hello. I am sorry that Laika is having problems. It sounds like she has a few issues going on. In regards to her vomiting and eating grass, she may have food allergies so you can try a diet trial with a different food to see if that helps. With her breathing, if she is reverse sneezing this is normal and can happen frequently. If this isn't reverse sneezing then having radiographs done of her throat/chest, and sometimes fluoroscopy (an active x-ray which is in 'real time' to see motion) can be helpful at finding the problem. Seizures can be caused by many different factors including metabolic disease, organ disease, intracranial problems (masses, vascular events), toxins, epilepsy, etc. To work up seizures you start with general bloodwork, and if this is normal you pursue imaging in the head, so MRI is often indicated. If you would like to pursue a complete work-up with Laika then talk to your vet about an internal medicine consultation, or possible neurologist specialist consultation. Good luck with Laika.
