Heave, gag, hurl, puke, spew and upchuck…anyway you say it…yuk! A pet can do any of the fore mentioned for myriad reasons. Figuring out why can be as simple and taking away that fuzzy toy that the pet insists on eating or a frustrating process for pet owner and veterinarian. It can even be life threatening. Dr. Stan Marks is a board certified veterinary internist and Professor in the Department of Medicine and Epidemiology at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. He has a special interest in remedying retching.
