Internal Medicine in veterinary care involves the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases in pets' internal systems. Our internists deal with a variety of complex health issues including but not limited to:
- Endocrinology: Disorders like diabetes and thyroid issues.
- Gastroenterology: Problems related to the digestive system, such as inflammatory bowel disease.
- Hematology: Blood disorders like anemia or clotting problems.
- Infectious Disease: Managing infections caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi.
- Nephrology/Urology: Kidney and urinary tract disorders.
- Respiratory Diseases: Conditions affecting the lungs and airways, such as asthma and bronchitis.
- Immunology: Autoimmune diseases where the immune system attacks the body’s own cells.
Referral-Based Consultation
Access to our Internal Medicine specialists requires a referral. If your pet is currently not under the care of a specialist and is experiencing health issues that require expert attention, our General Practice can provide an initial assessment and, if necessary, issue a referral. This streamlined process ensures that your pet can receive both general and specialized care in the same visit, allowing for a comprehensive approach to your pet’s health in our facility.
