Vomiting and diarrhea are two of the main reasons owners bring their pets to the hospital. It is important for veterinary nurses to identify these clinical signs and ascertain a complete history and evaluation regarding these frequent signs in presenting pets. Nutritional management is a crucial part of therapy in the management of vomiting and/or diarrhea. Certain key nutritional factors play a role in managing vomiting and diarrhea in cats and dogs and veterinary nurses should recognize the circumstances and reasoning for the KNF’s to ensure a positive outcome for the vomiting and diarrheic patient.
