About Internal Medicine
Because our pets are not always able to communicate sources of pain and discomfort, the intervention of a specialist in internal medicine is vital to diagnose many complex illnesses affecting small animals. The following are examples of canine and feline disorders (as provided by the ACVIM.org website):
Endocrinology: Addison’s disease (hypoadrenocorticism), Cushing’s disease (hyperadrenocorticism), diabetes, insulinoma, canine hypothyroidism, and feline hyperthyroidism
Gastroenterology: Disorders of the esophagus, stomach, intestine, colon, pancreas, liver, and biliary tract
Hematology: Red blood cell, platelet, and white blood cell disorders Immunology: Immune-mediated and immunodeficiency diseases
Infectious Diseases: Bacterial, bartonella, fungal, mucoplasma, protozoal, rickettsial, and viral diseases
Nephrology/Urology: disorders of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra
Respiratory Disease: Disorders of the nasal cavity, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs
Diagnostic services include:
- Clinical Pathology (laboratory)
- Digital Radiology
- Ultrasound
- Electrocardiography
- Flexible & Rigid Endoscopy
- Laparoscopy (abdominal internal examination)
- Echocardiography (heart imaging and doppler)
- Blood Pressure Evaluation
Will my pet be sedated? Rarely will a pet need to be sedated for this procedure.
Will my pet have his fur shaved? We always shave the belly for an abdominal ultrasound, as we cannot see well through the fur. We sometimes shave for a cardiac or thoracic ultrasound.
About Cardiology
Cardiology is the branch of medicine that treats diseases of the cardiovascular system, which includes the heart and blood vessels. This encompasses such problems as congestive heart failure, hypertension, dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and valvular disorders. Because the function of the heart and lungs are interrelated, veterinary cardiologists are also knowledgeable about lung disease as well as diseases of the chest cavity. A veterinary cardiologist is a licensed veterinarian who has obtained intensive additional training in veterinary cardiology.
