Equine Internal Medicine
The Equine Internal Medicine service at Texas A&M is committed to providing the gold standard of medical care to horses and foals from all walks of life. Internal Medicine works with patients with diseases of many body systems, including: lung, upper airways, heart, liver, kidney and bladder, blood vessels, blood and bone marrow, stomach and intestines, brain and spinal cord, and endocrine glands. A wide variety of diseases can be addressed by our service, from sudden-onset critical illness to chronic conditions, and from congenital to auto immune to infectious diseases. Our clinicians are Diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine, and will work closely with your veterinarian to provide the best care possible for your horse. Working with the senior faculty are 4th year students, interns, and residents. Research activities by our faculty in the Infectious Diseases and Gastrointestinal Laboratories provide a connection to the latest information.
Texas A&M University's Equine Internal Medicine service is fully equipped to diagnose and care for horses and foals with a wide range of symptoms, including weight loss, fever, respiratory signs, acute or chronic colic, diarrhea, neurologic symptoms, and many others. Access to the Clinical Pathology, Immunology, and Microbiology laboratories of the College provide the most accurate laboratory results available. We are also able to perform endoscopy of the airway, stomach, proximal small intestine, esophagus, and urinary bladder, and have access to one of the very best radiographic and diagnostic ultrasound services in the country. The size of our clinical faculty allows consultation with other clinical services, such as Radiography, Dermatology, Neurology and Cardiology, providing a tremendous resource of specialists with advanced training, all under one roof.
