Feline internal medicine includes the diagnosis and treatment of a broad spectrum of conditions, ranging from acute illnesses and injuries, to the management of chronic diseases. Especially as our cats age, they are at risk of developing many systemic diseases that need a complete care plan for treatment and to minimize progression. Hyperthyroidism, kidney disease, heart disease, intestinal disease, and cancer are common with our older patients, and need long term management to help our pets have more quality time possible with their owners.
By using advanced diagnostic tools and staying informed of the latest medical advancements, Abbeywood Cat Hospital’s veterinarians provide comprehensive care that addresses the unique needs of the feline patient. We also have relationships with local boarded internal medicine specialists, and are happy to facilitate consultation or referral when desired or needed.
However, our focus is not just on the medical treatment, but that any testing or treatment decision is the right choice for that patient and client. As a feline only hospital, we understand that cats are unique and that we need to tailor our approach to medicine for the individual cat and owner pairing, and that the best approach is not always the same even for 2 cats in the same household.
