Clinical characteristics of dogs presenting with vomiting as a gastrointestinal sign of chronic enteropathy.

ABSTRACT: Vomiting is a major gastrointestinal (GI) sign of chronic enteropathy (CE) in dogs. Previous studies have reported clinical characteristics of dogs with CE, who developed diarrhea with or without vomiting as GI signs.
