Vomiting and Diarrhea Care in Nichols Hills, OK, From Your Local Vet

Petfolk Veterinary & Urgent Care - Nichols Hills is a vet in Nichols Hills, OK, that treats vomiting and diarrhea in dogs and cats the same day. A single episode in a pet that's otherwise bright and eating often passes on its own; repeated vomiting, blood, or a pet who seems unwell needs a vet.

If you're not sure which you're facing, call (405) 251-8816 and the team will help you decide.

When is vomiting or diarrhea a reason to go to a 24-hour hospital?

Go straight to a 24-hour hospital if your pet is vomiting and can't keep water down, has a swollen, hard belly while trying to vomit with nothing coming up, has large amounts of blood in vomit or stool, is very weak, or has collapsed. A large-breed dog with a bloated belly and dry heaving needs help within minutes. Petfolk Nichols Hills gives primary and urgent care and is not an emergency hospital. VEG Oklahoma City, a 24-hour animal hospital on Pawnee Dr off N Western Ave, takes walk-ins.

When should my pet see a vet the same day?

Book a same-day visit at Petfolk Nichols Hills if your pet:

• Vomits more than two or three times in a day

• Has diarrhea for more than a day, or with streaks of blood

• Is a puppy, kitten or senior with any vomiting or diarrhea

• Stops eating or seems tired

• May have eaten something, like a toy, bone, sock or trash

• Has known health problems, like diabetes or kidney disease

• Is a puppy that isn't fully vaccinated, since parvo is a risk

What causes vomiting and diarrhea in pets?

The most common causes are:

1. Eating something new or rich, like table scraps, trash or a sudden food change

2. Intestinal parasites, especially in young pets

3. Infections, like parvovirus in unvaccinated puppies

4. Swallowed objects that cause a blockage

5. Toxins, from foods, plants or medicines

6. Ongoing problems, like food allergy, pancreatitis, kidney or liver disease

What happens at the visit?

The vet at Petfolk Nichols Hills will ask what your pet ate, when it started and how often it's happening. Then the exam, and possibly:

• A stool test for parasites in the in-house lab

• Blood work to check hydration, organs and blood counts

• X-rays to look for a swallowed object or blockage

• Anti-nausea medicine, and ask the team about fluids if your pet is dehydrated

• A short course of a bland or GI diet

You'll get an estimate before any test or treatment. The final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit. Fear Free handling is standard at Petfolk, and a nauseous pet is handled slowly and gently.

They made us feel comfortable, and the service was excellent.

Caring for your pet at home

If the vet sends your pet home:

• Offer small amounts of water often.

• Feed small, bland meals or the prescribed GI diet for a few days.

• Go back to the normal food slowly over several days.

• Bring a fresh stool sample to any recheck.

• Call if vomiting returns, your pet stops drinking, or the stool turns black or bloody.

Across Petfolk, 84% of the prescription diets we send home are GI diets for sensitive stomachs (Oct 1, 2025 to Sep 30, 2026). See prescription pet food in Nichols Hills.
