And that\u2019s a long time.\u00a0 I am not sure how true all this is, but I still hear it said by many of our charming senior clients.\u00a0 These days, we get several calls about vomiting or diarrhea patients every single day.\u00a0 Our patients compared to the past seem to have a much more \u201csensitive constitution,\u201d as my grandma would have said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"mod-a-body-first-para\">\n<p>There is good news and bad news with these symptoms, which often go hand in hand. Fortunately, the vast majority of our cases are nothing more than an upset stomach for some very simple reason. Unfortunately for us as veterinarians, vomiting and diarrhea are such vague signs that they can be associated with hundreds of diseases, from benign to deadly. Fortunately, we don\u2019t have to work up every case with blood work, radiographs (x-rays), ultrasound, ct scan, exploratory surgery, etc. to diagnose a cause.\u00a0 Unfortunately, sometimes we do.\u00a0 Fortunately, most vomiting and diarrhea cases are really easy to treat, oftentimes with things you can do at home and with over-the-counter medications you may already have.\u00a0 Unfortunately it may take a few days to get things under control.\u00a0 Fortunately, most of these cases will be normal very quickly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vomitus Doggy-Us May 07, 2012|Jeffrey Vogl, DVM, South Bend, Ind.
