Persistent vomiting is a potentially dangerous situation for an animal to be in. It can lead to dehydration, metabolic alkalosis and electrolyte imbalances; at worst it can lead to shock. If vomiting is occuring for a reason other than ingestion of a foreign material or a gastric obstruction, such as a drug side-effect, it may be worth considering using an anti-emetic.

It must be remebered that vomiting often can be controlled by withholding food, a change of diet and anthelmintic therapy and so they are only really needed if there is no improvement and the animal is becoming more ill.
