Bilious Vomiting in Pets

News-Gazette (Jan. 11) – “Bilious vomiting syndrome is suspected when a patient has recurrent episodes of vomiting bile early in the morning,” said Dr. Canaan Shores, the veterinarian who oversees the urgent and convenient-care service at the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital. “It is thought to occur when bile refluxes — or moves backward — from the intestines to the stomach, leading to irritation and subsequent vomiting.”
