Internal medicine service now running at Willows
4 October 2009
The medicine team at Willows is now offering a complete internal medicine service, fully backed up by other specialists and support staff including those in our state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging facility, as well as others in our anaesthesia and soft tissue surgery teams.
The medicine team members are happy to see any cats and dogs with internal medicine problems referred by veterinary surgeons, and they aim to avoid ‘waiting lists’ by making additional appointments available as necessary in order to see urgent cases.
Patients dealt with include those with:
- acute or chronic gastrointestinal conditions
- anaemia
- bleeding problems
- nasal disease
- liver disease
- simple or complex endocrine problems
- renal and respiratory disease
In conjunction with the spinal and soft-tissue surgery teams Jane and Kirsty are also happy to take neurology cases such as those presenting with
- meningitis
- seizures
- ataxia
- endocrine and other neuropathies
- polymyositis
- porto-systemic shunts
- myasthenia, weakness and collapse
Oncology
In conjunction with the imaging, soft-tissue and critical care teams, Jane and Kirsty are pleased to assist in the management of oncology cases.
Our advanced CT and fluoroscopy suite facilities allow us to perform detailed three-dimensional reconstructive contrast imaging of the anatomy and vascularity of tumours, enabling meticulous planning for tumour resection procedures. The imaging facilities, medical, surgical and critical care experience available at Willows Referral Service enable us to provide the highest levels of care to our oncological patients and their owners.
