https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/30161/winter-vomitting-and-diarrhoea I have definately noticed an increase in the Bristol area in the past few years. Seem to start early December, tailing off about now Of interest is a BVA announcement that cases spike in the North East and Yorkshire https://www.liverpool.ac.uken-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/235315?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 20 Jan 2022 18:08:34 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:70421b59-2760-4bab-8270-1bf9414b26a7Clive Ansell<p>We&#39;re seeing a lot of cases at the moment, 4 or 5 each vet daily since the new year. Most present with anorexia and vomiting, a few have diarrhoea but most don&#39;t, and mostly they are BAR and normothermic. A few have been marginally pyrexic.</p> <p>Most seem to recover after a single dose of M<span>aropitant, although a few have returned for a repeat injection and 3 days worth of Maropitant tablets. Some of the vets give Omeprazole, but I don&#39;t routinely.</span></p> <p>None have needed hospitalisation or fluid therapy.</p> <p>A few have had abdominal rads and/or ultrasound scans where there is a stronger suspicion of a FB, but none have been found.&nbsp;</p> <p>One case that had severe diarrhoea too had Campylobacter, but he is fed a commercially processed raw chicken diet . The same dog also ate 100g rat poison, but we could not make him vomit with Apomorphine, because of the M<span>aropitant already on board.&nbsp;</span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
