What Can I Expect if my Pet is Referred to an Internal Medicine Specialist?
Each patient referred to the Internal Medicine service will be examined by a Specialist and their medical problems will be discussed with the owner(s). Following this, an appropriate investigation plan will be discussed which may include lab tests, scans (e.g. ultrasound or CT), endoscopy i.e. camera studies (e.g. of the stomach, intestine, nose, airways, bladder), and other procedures (e.g. bone marrow biopsies, joint fluid sampling). After a diagnosis has been made, an appropriate treatment plan and the likely outcome (prognosis) will be discussed.
