Companion Animal Medicine
The Companion Animal Medicine service of the VTH&C is staffed by 5 faculty
members who are diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Internal
Medicine, and 4 residents with extensive training in small animal internal
medicine. Each faculty clinician practices general internal medicine but
also has expertise in a sub-specialty area such as gastroenterology,
urology, endocrinology, critical care, and infectious disease.
Specialty services offered include ultrasonography, endoscopy,
bronchoscopy, cystoscopy, electrodiagnostics, CT scan, nuclear medicine,
and radioactive iodide therapy.
