Internal Medicine Service

What does an internal medicine specialist do?

Internal medicine specialist, "internist" or "medic" treats wide variety of acute or long-term medical conditions. Medics will typically see your pet if your vet struggles to get on top of your pet's problems, or if you want to have a second opinion about the management of  intermittent gastrointestinal problems (vomiting, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, reflux, regurgitation, hypersalivation or loss of appetite), or if your pet had multiple surgeries for removal of foreign bodies and you are worried that the problem might reoccur. Medic will see pets with liver problems, pancreatic diseases, increased drinking and urination, recurrent urinary tract infections or blood in the urine, kidney diseases, cats with recurrent lower urinary tract problems or dogs with vaginitis or reproductive problems.  Medic will also help pets with uncontrolled diabetes, Cushing's disease, thyroid problems or any other hormonal disease as well as pets with different forms of lethargy, exercise intolerance, respiratory problems, poorly controlled cough, feline asthma or any sort of throat problem. Animals with fever that would not resolve are also among regular medicine patients. If your pet does not fall into any of these brackets, you are still very welcome to contact Alenka  and see if she can help.

How can I arrange a referral to see a medic?

Referring vets please click here to download the Medical referral form. If you would like to self refer your pet please contact the Tunstall practice directly. Once we receive your request for a referral we will request that your pet's clinical history, laboratory results and diagnostic imaging findings are emailed to us for a review. After this initial step the reception team will contact the owners directly to arrange the referral consultations.

How will my appointment with a medic look like?

After initial discussion about your pet’s problems and a thorough review of your pet’s medical, diagnostic and treatment history, Alenka will establish a further diagnostic and treatment plan.

Pets will typically be admitted for further diagnostic imaging, laboratory investigations and advanced medicine procedures. But in some instances, Alenka might just propose an appropriate treatment plan after reviewing the results of the investigations carried out by your vet.

Alenka has a full access to all range of endoscopes for gastrointestinal and respiratory endoscopic examinations. She will also regularly perform procedures such as bone marrow sampling, joint fluid sampling, feeding tube placement and treatment of aspergillosis (debridement and trephinations). Alenka also closely works with specialists from other disciplines in the area.
