Internal Medicine is a discipline within veterinary medicine focused on diagnosing and treating a wide range of medical conditions. These include haematologic, immune-mediated, infectious, gastrointestinal, hepatic, respiratory, and renal disorders. Our team also supports other specialist disciplines by managing patients who are acutely unwell or have multiple concurrent conditions. We are trained to handle both acute and chronic illnesses in animals.
