Internal medicine
The VTH's Internal medicine unit is responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases requiring a medical approach. Veterinarians of the unit provide specialist consultations to self-employed veterinary professionals who seek a second opinion, as well as owners whose pet needs a specialist examination.
Services offered include gastroenterology, nephrology, urology, endocrinology and small animal onclogy.
In addition to more traditional medical services, such as vaccinations and blood sampling, other services include:
- internist and oncology examinations
- abdominal echography
- video endoscopy (respiratory and gastro-intestinal tracts)
- glucose tolerance test
The unit's staff is composed as follows:
- Prof. Carlo Guglielmini (Head of Unit)
- Prof. Helen Poser
- Dr. Eric Zini
- Dr. Luigi Michele Coppola
- Dr. Michele Berlanda
- Dr. Roberta Di Maggio
- Dr. Samuel Venturelli
