Plain-English summary
A 5-year-old male white shepherd was brought in for sudden vomiting and signs of abdominal pain. After a thorough examination and various tests, the veterinarian discovered that the cause was testicular torsion, a condition where the testicle twists and cuts off its blood supply. The dog underwent surgery to correct the issue, and afterward, he recovered well and stopped vomiting.

Abstract
Acute disease of any visceral organ, including an intrathoracic organ, can cause nausea and an acute abdomen. If acute vomiting can neither be explained by clinical examination nor laboratory and radiology findings, the etiolgy must be searched outside the gastrointestinal tract in less common locations. Testicular torsion was the cause in the present report.
