Myra Stevenson BVM&S CertSAM MRCVS

Sara Gould BVet Med DSAM MRCVS, RCVS Specialist in Small Animal Medicine

Our Internal Medicine team see those clinical problems that are not obviously surgical. These may include vomiting, diarrhoea, excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss or weight gain, anaemia and fever. These are the cases that the first opinion vet can't find an obvious answer for and that need the experience and sophisticated diagnostics we have to hand, such as endoscopy, ultrasound and advanced imaging (MRI). Sara Gould is particularly experienced in diagnosing and treating cancer and endocrinology cases. If the patient needs surgery, then the case may be handed over to our soft tissue surgeon, Carol Wright.

Please phone for further information, if it's not on the list it doesn't mean we don't do it.
