Medical history: Jimmy has vomited 8 times since yesterday morning, showing apathy and anorexia. The vomiting (really with abdominal press) was a food like substance in large quantity. Then the 7 other times it was liquid (beige, foamy). He has urinated 4 times in the house because he is too tired to move more. The owner went to the PTA this morning and Jimmy was given an infusion subcutaneously + an injection of painkiller and an injection for nausea. Since then he has not vomited but the PTA does not know exactly what he can do so the owner has come to have an explanation. He is well vaccinated these last years and he is dewormed regularly. Previous illnesses: Cardiomyopathy which is under therapy (2 times daily 2,5mg of Pimobendan)
