Vomiting is a common clinical sign in small animal practice. Causes range from being relatively clinically innocuous and transitory to being an indication of serious primary or secondary GI disease.

A logical approach to assessing the patient that presents with the problem of vomiting is important to ensure that the problem and system are defined correctly so that diagnostic and treatment plans are rational and justifiable.

Clinical pathology will often progress understanding of secondary GI disorders but is not usually particularly helpful in primary GI disorders where imaging of the GI tract is often more diagnostically useful.
