Plain-English summary
A 6-year-old male dog was brought in for persistent vomiting, which is a common sign of a serious condition. After testing, the vet diagnosed him with a rare type of tumor called gastrinoma, which causes excessive stomach acid and can lead to ulcers. Treatment focused on managing the symptoms and reducing acid production. With appropriate care, the dog showed improvement and was able to eat more comfortably.

Abstract
Gastrinoma is a rare malignant neuroendocrine neoplasia that results in autonomous gastrin secretion that stimulates hypersecretion of gastric acid, resulting in severe gastric and proximal small intestinal ulcerations. The principal clinical manifestation of gastrinoma is persistent vomiting. This report describes an uncommon manifestation of pancreatic gastrinoma in a dog.
