Vomiting in small animal medicine - an overview of causes and treatment

, RVN
Pages 17-19 | Published online: 21 Nov 2014
 

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.
