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.

Diseases and disorders of the gastrointestinal system can often be life-threatening if not treated quickly. Problems such as colitis, gastric ulcers, and 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.

New Bolton Center’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is designed to accommodate the special needs of critically ill neonatal patients.

Our board-certified neurologist, one of three in the US, focuses on diseases affecting the nervous system to which horses as well as camelids and food animals are susceptible.

Large animal kidneys are very efficient as long as they are in good health. Symptoms of kidney disease may be hard to detect without proper clinical care.

Every cell in an animal’s body depends on oxygen intake. 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 your animal’s overall health.
