Internal Medicine is a specialty dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases and encompasses a wide range of areas. It involves using a combination of detailed medical history, careful physical examination and diagnostic testing to achieve a diagnosis and then formulate a treatment plan.
Commonly used diagnostic tests include:
We see cases across a number of sub-specialties, examples of which are below: Gastroenterology
Haematology
Pulmonology
Hepatology
Endocrinology
Urology/Nephrology
In general if it doesn't easily fit anywhere else, it is probably medical! The purpose of this section of the site is to provide information for pet owners about internal medicine diseases and to provide updates to Veterinary Surgeons about developments in the field through the blog. If you are a pet owner and would like to see an information page about a specific condition or procedure please feel free to drop me an email. |
