Abstract
Veterinary nurses in practice play an important role in triaging cases of vomiting, so it is essential for them to have a good understanding of the causes of vomiting, the appropriate advice to give worried owners, the treatment options available, how a diagnosis may be achieved and what prescribed medications help.
Notes
* These agents are not licensed for veterinary use and their use must be justified under the prescribing cascade system, for example only when a licensed product has not been effective in controlling vomiting.
