I am also new to this forum. We have a Boxer (Layla) that is almost 3 years old. We have dealt with this same issue on many occasions but the worst one was last night, or early this morning from about 3 a.m. until about 5 in the morning. Her episodes usually only last a few minutes and then they stop but this one just wouldn’t stop until she vomited. She will start double swallowing, licking her lips, licking the carpet, is very restless, and looks completely terrified. I feel totally helpless when she does this but do whatever I can do to try to comfort her during the episode. I stayed up with her last night until she finally stopped doing it and was able to go to sleep. My vet has also not ever heard of this condition before, which doesn’t help us at all. I would think that more vets would be familiar with this condition, since it doesn’t just affect one breed but is pretty widespread among many canine breeds. I am very happy to have found this forum and to read about others who are experiencing the same issues as we are.
