The internal medicine team will work closely with our emergency and critical care and soft tissue surgery teams to provide a complete service to you and your pet. Among the reasons your pet may get referred to our internal medicine department are diarrhoea that just won’t clear up, diabetes, unexplained weight loss, anaemia and cases where you know your pet is ill, but nobody can get to the bottom of it.
• Cardiology
  Cardiology is concerned with all conditions relating to the heart. Our Cardiology team work closely with the internal medicine, ECC and soft tissue surgery to provide a complete service. You will often get referred to cardiology if your vet finds a heart murmur. Our cardiologist will be able to perform an echo-cardiogram to determine what treatment is needed. Other reasons you may get referred to cardiology is if your pet has chronic heart failure, collapsing, excess fluid around the heart or seizures.
