Internal Medicine & Cardiology

Internal Medicine & Cardiology:

Internal Medicine is the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious and non-infectious conditions affecting the internal organs, central nervous system and muscles. In veterinary medicine, it covers both mature horses and foals.

Cardiology is a specialised branch of internal medicine that addresses the health of the heart, and conditions affecting it.

We offer investigation, treatment and, where appropriate, advice on prevention for:

Infectious disease

such as respiratory infections, intestinal infections etc.

Hormonal imbalances

such as Equine Cushings Disease (PPID), Equine Metabolic Syndrome etc.

Weight loss or poor weight gain

such as stomach ulcers, parasites, nutritional problems etc.

Neurological conditions

such as Wobblers etc.

Muscle conditions

such as tying-up, polysaccharide storage myopathy etc.

Heart conditions

such as atrial fibrillation, murmurs heard at a vetting, poor performance etc.

We have a sophisticated ultrasound machine, a 3m gastroscope and the ability to take samples from any affected area for analysis to aid in these investigations.
