Internal Medicine

Endocrine diseases stem from imbalances in hormone levels. Endocrine diseases develop when the body produces too much hormone (hyper- diseases) or too little hormone (hypo-diseases). Examples include Equine Cushing’s Disease, Equine Metabolic Syndrome, and hypo- or hyper-thyroidism. New Bolton Center's team of internal medicine specialists can help diagnose and treat these conditions.

Diseases and disorders of the gastrointestinal system can often be life-threatening if not treated quickly. Problems such as colitis, gastric ulcers, chronic inflammatory bowel disease can cause diarrhea, weight loss, or poor appetite. New Bolton Center offers the latest in diagnostic options, including gastroscopy, ultrasound, and intestinal absorption studies.

Every cell in a horse's body depends on the horse's oxygen intake. The same is true for all large animals. Abnormalities can restrict oxygen delivery to the tissue, which affects performance and overall health. Our specialists diagnose and treat respiratory disorders such as pneumonia, pleuritis, and inflammatory or allergic airway diseases (“heaves”). It's important to understand and treat disorders of the respiratory system in large animals quickly and effectively before they affect the overall health of your animal.
