EQUINE INTERNAL MEDICINE

As a diplomate of the European College of Equine Internal Medicine (ECEIM),  apart from working as a regular equine veterinarian, I specialise in the diagnostics and treatment of internal problems in the horse.



Modern technology devices make it  possible to carry out more specialised diagnostics out in the field. Examples: Endoscopies (gastroscopy, bronchoscopy, cystoscopy etc.), ultrasonographic examinations, biopsies, blood work and others.
