1 The Vomiting Patient: Four Important Questions June 15-28, 2009 By David C. Twedt, DVM, Diplomate ACVIM AAHA gratefully acknowledges the following for their sponsorship of this Web Conference: Diagnosis and Management of the Vomiting Patient David C. Twedt, DVM, Diplomate ACVIM 1

2 Jake 10 yr C/M WWT Owner s complaint: 2 years duration of chronic vomiting Referred for a vomiting work-up The Patient Adopted 2 years ago Little history prior to adoption except a reported episode of pancreatitis On heartworm prevention Since owners obtained Jake he would vomit Jake has as been treated with a variety of medications The Four Important Questions 1. Is the animal really vomiting? 2. What is the vomiting history? 3. How should I direct my work-up? 4. When should I consider antiemetic therapy, and if so which one? 2

3 The Vomiting History The Vomiting History 1. Is the patient actually vomiting? Nausea Salivation Swallowing Retching Expulsion of gastric material The Vomiting History 1. Is the patient actually vomiting? 2. Detailed vomiting history Determine D FACTs: Duration Frequency Association with eating Character Treatments 3

4 The Vomiting History 1. Is the patient actually vomiting? 2. Detailed vomiting history 3. Diet and drug history The Vomiting History 1. Is the patient actually vomiting? 2. Detailed vomiting history 3. Diet and drug history 4. Other signs or symptoms associated with the vomiting Jake s History Vomiting: 2-3 X a week Contains predominately bile Occurs almost always during the night or early morning Occasionally has a gurgling stomach Sometimes vomits heartworm pills up to hours after given 4

5 Jake s History Additional history: Senior premium diet feed once a day Good appetite, no weight loss Past therapy: Several specialty GI diets Antibiotics Famotidine Physical Examination 9 kg bw, BCS - 5/9 Active and responsive T - 100º F, Pulse bpm GI - normal abdominal palpation Review of other systems - WNL Rectal exam - WNL and normal stool Would you consider prescribing an antiemetic as part of Jake s treatment plan? a. Yes b. No c. Need more information 5

6 Rational Use of Antiemetics First, always treat primary disease Indications would be. To prevent fluid and electrolyte loss Patient comfort from nausea and vomiting Fear of aspiration pneumonia Benefit.. Possibly an early return to nutrition Contraindications.. GI obstructions Rational Use of Antiemetics Common uses: Motion sickness Uremia Parvovirus Pancreatitis Acute gastroenteritis Cancer chemotherapy Undetermined causes and no etiology What Antiemetic? Serotonin antagonists Metoclopramide Butorphanol Phenothiazines NK 1 antagonists Antihistamines Anticholinergic drugs 6
