Feline internal medicine service
The Feline Internal Medicine Service offers a comprehensive feline medical referral service to veterinary surgeons in general practice. Clinics are run daily from Monday to Friday with an emergency service available at all times.
Clients can expect to have full and informed investigations of their cats' problems. Cats are generally admitted to the hospital to facilitate complete investigations. These might include laboratory tests, radiography, ultrasonography, endoscopy and other special procedures such as bone marrow sampling or advanced imaging as needed. If surgery is necessary, internal referrals can be made within the hospital to the Surgery Service.
The Feline Internal Medicine Group at Langford Veterinary Services comprises the largest team of RCVS recognised feline specialists in the UK. We are interested in all aspects of feline medicine, but specific areas of interest include:
- Endocrinology including scintigraphic imaging and radioiodine treatment of hyperthyroid cats
- Hypertension and renal disease
- Gastroenterology and hepatology
- Lower urinary tract disease
- Cardiorespiratory disorders
- Infectious diseases
- Haematological diseases (including cats requiring blood transfusions)
