Vomiting is a common clinical sign in feline practice and involves retching with active expulsion of gastric and/or duodenal contents that may be bile-stained. Vomiting may be acute or chronic and have either an intermittent or a persistent clinical course. This chapter deals with causes, clinical approach, diagnostic strategies and treatment goals.
