Pharmacologic control of vomiting (Proceedings) Aug 1, 2009 By: Todd R. Tams, DVM, DACVIM Initial nonspecific management of vomiting includes NPO (in minor cases a 6-12 hour period of nothing per os may be all that is required), fluid support, and antiemetics.

Update on managing IBD in dogs (Proceedings) Aug 1, 2009 By: Todd R.
