Why is my Husky vomiting and collapsing on walks? Vet is stumped.

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 6 months old | 60 lbs

My 2-year-old Siberian Husky begun with two vomiting episodes leading to him collapsing on his walks. Our vet told us it was because he was walking on an empty stomach so we put him on a feeding schedule so he was fed many minutes before going out. Our vet drew blood and took fecal samples and even had an x-ray done on him but nothing is wrong supposedly. She advised me to change his kibble. This morning he vomited like never before. Please advise.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Cody. I am sorry to hear that he is still having problems. It sounds like his episodes are scary. I recommend that he has a further work up if his original set of tests did not reveal an answer to his problem. You may want to seek a second opinion with internal medicine specialist. An abdominal ultrasound will be more sensitive to detect subtle abnormalities in his abdomen. I would also try to have his blood sugar measured as soon after an episode as possible. Low blood sugar can cause collapse. Feeding him prior to walks could help prevent this, but there is a pancreatic disease that causes low blood sugar. Do his episodes seem like small seizures at all? This can cause collapse as well. I hope this information helps and you can get some answers soon.
