Internal diseases
Internal diseases of dogs and cats include disorders of various internal organs and systems that can affect the pet’s health. Internal disease specialists diagnose and treat problems related to the respiratory, digestive, urinary, cardiovascular systems, and endocrine and immunological disorders. By contacting a Veterinarian of this area timely, it is possible to detect diseases early and prevent their progression.
When do you have to apply to Internal Disease Specialist?
1. Digestive system disorders:
• if you notice your pet vomiting, having diarrhoea, losing appetite, or having abdominal pain, these could be signs of a digestive disorder such as gastritis, pancreatitis, or intestinal obstruction.
2. Breathing disorders:
• if your pet coughs frequently, has difficulty breathing, wheezes, or you notice other breathing problems, this may indicate lung, bronchial, or other respiratory tract diseases, such as bronchitis, pneumonia, or asthma.
3. Cardiovascular diseases:
• such symptoms as lethargy, fatigue, coughing, fainting, or breathing problems may indicate heart disease. An Internal Disease Specialist can perform a thorough heart examination and recommend appropriate treatment.
4. Urine system disorders:
• frequent urination, blood in the urine, difficulty urinating, or incontinence may indicate kidney, bladder, or urinary tract problems, such as kidney failure or bladder stones.
5. Endocrine disorders:
• such hormonal diseases as diabetes, thyroid disorders, or Cushing’s disease can cause symptoms such as excessive thirst, weight loss, or increased urination. Diagnostics and control of these diseases are crucial to the health of your pet.
6. Liver and pancreas diseases:
• liver or pancreas problems may cause vomiting, loss of appetite, weight loss, or jaundice (yellowing of the skin and mucous membranes). Timely referral allows for accurate diagnosis of the problem and initiation of treatment.
7. Blood and immune system disorders:
• anaemia, clotting disorders, or immune system diseases can cause weakness, fatigue, pale mucous membranes, or bleeding. A Veterinarian can perform blood tests to diagnose these disorders.
8. Chronic pain or lethargy:
• if your pet seems constantly tired, complains of pain, or is simply "acting abnormally", this could be a sign of an internal disease. Pets often hide their pain, so such symptoms must not be ignored.
9. Fever or signs of infections:
• fever, lethargy, loss of appetite, or such signs of infection as swelling, discharge, or skin changes may indicate bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections, so a veterinary examination is necessary.
