Internal Medicine

Comprehensive Veterinary Internal Medicine

At Queensland Veterinary Specialists we strive to provide the highest level of care through our Internal Medicine service. Our team of experienced, board-certified veterinary internists, registrars and residents utilises expertise, advanced medical equipment, and compassionate care to diagnose and provide exceptional care in a wide range of complex medical conditions in cats and dogs.

 

Our internal medicine department encompasses many disciplines including:

  • Gastroenterology (gastrointestinal disease)
  • Haematology (blood cell disease)
  • Immunology (immune related disease)
  • Endocrinology (hormone related disease)
  • Respiratory medicine (airway, nose and lung disease)
  • Neurology
  • Cardiology
  • Urogenital disease
  • Medical management of cancer
Our facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art advanced imaging tools and technology to provide your pet with exceptional patient care from our team. The diagnostic equipment that we have available to us include digital radiography, ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Further to this, we offer a range of endoscopes at both of our hospitals which allow us to perform endoscopy of the gastrointestinal, respiratory (rhinoscopy & bronchoscopy) and urogenital tracts. 

Our internal medicine team commonly performs procedures such as bone marrow aspirates, cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) collection, endotracheal washes, joint taps and feeding tube placement.
 

 

Leading Experts in Veterinary Internal Medicine

All of our teams work closely with one another to ensure your pet receives the best care possible. While you may only see one of our vets, you may have many clinicians from all different specialities working together on your pet to provide comprehensive and integrated care. Should your pet be affected by multiple different conditions, we can ensure that they receive the care that they need, all under the one roof. 


We all understand that navigating care for an unwell pet can be overwhelming for pet owners and we pride ourselves in our ability to communicate clearly and with empathy while ensuring that owners are well informed and educated on their pets’ treatment.
