内科診療

内科医療とは、内臓疾患の診断および外科的治療を伴わない治療を指します。この分野は非常に微妙で複雑なものであり、膨大な知識と経験が必要とされるだけでなく、忍耐と探究心も求められます。

Gordon Veterinary Hospitalでは、内科の専門知識が入院患者に対する全ての治療の基盤となっています。当院の院長先生でもあるラケンビー先生は以下の通りオーストラリア獣医科学会の小動物(犬猫)のメンバーです。

  • Scott Lackenby: 犬猫の医学(Canine & Feline Medicine)

獣医師のうち、大学の資格を持っているのはわずか10%ですので、これは非常に優れたスキルと経験のラインアップと言えます。Gordon Veterinary Hospitalでは、この卓越したスキルと経験を日々活かしています。

効果的な治療と予後を提供するためには、正確な診断が不可欠です。これには、入院中または数回の訪問中に行われる一連の診断検査が必要です。これらの検査は一般的に非侵襲的ですが、一部には全身麻酔や鎮静を伴うものもあります。

  • レントゲン検査(Radiography)
  • 超音波検査(Ultrasonography)
  • 内視鏡検査(Endoscopy)
  • 生検(Biopsy)
  • 真菌や細菌などの培養検査(Culture of organisms such as fungi or bacteria)
  • 顕微鏡検査(Microscopy)
  • 血液検査(Blood tests):臓器プロファイル、血球計算、凝固プロファイル、血液ガス分析など
  • 尿検査(Urine tests)
  • 電子検査(Electronic tests):血圧測定、酸素と二酸化炭素のレベル測定など

診断と治療の選択肢、およびそれぞれのコストについては、獣医師が説明し、ご家族とペットに最適なものを選んでいただけます。

心血管疾患

心血管疾患は、私たちの高齢の患者(そして高齢でない患者)に私たち自身と同様に一般的です。最も一般的な症候群は、うっ血性心不全であり、これはさまざまな心臓疾患によって引き起こされます。ペットも心筋や心臓リズムの異常、先天性(先天性欠損)などの心臓疾患を持つことがあります。地域の予防薬の高い使用率(Proheartなどの年1回の注射など)のため、幸いにも当地域では心臓虫症はまれです。

心雑音

多くの犬が心雑音と診断されますが、特に小型犬種は年をとると増えます。通常、初めて診断されたとき、心雑音は亜臨床的です(病気の臨床的な兆候を引き起こさない)。心雑音があるということは、必ずしも心不全を意味するわけではありません。心不全は重度の心雑音の結果となることがありますが、通常は数年間にわたって徐々に進行します。そのため、獣医師が毎回心雑音の重症度をモニターできるように、年次健康診断が非常に重要です。

呼吸器疾患

くしゃみ、鼻水、咳、ゼーゼーとした呼吸や鼻詰まり、呼吸困難は、呼吸器系だけでなく他のいくつかの系統の疾患の兆候です。多くの小型犬は、喉や鼻の閉塞性疾患を持って生まれることがありますが、これは終生にわたる損傷を回避するために評価されるべきです。呼吸困難は、ダニ性麻痺の兆候である可能性があり、他の多くの問題もあります。ペットは冷静で涼しい状態に保たれ、すぐに検査される必要があります。

胸部レントゲン

通常の獣医療法に反応しない呼吸器疾患に対しては、胸部レントゲン(X線)がお勧めされることがあります。これにより、胸部の画像を撮影できます。通常、これは鎮静下で行われます(患者によって異なります)。

消化器疾患

胃や腸の疾患は非常に一般的です。吐き気、下痢、頻繁にトイレに行く、または食欲がないことが最も一般的な兆候です。多くの犬が食べてはいけない物を食べたり、汚れた水を飲んだりするため、感染症や寄生虫といって問題にかかることがあります。また、ペットは誤飲(骨、とうもろこしの実、さまざまな奇妙なものなど)、炎症や癌にもなりやすいです。肝臓や膵臓の疾患も非常に一般的であり、特に膵炎と呼ばれる状態があります。

犬の膵炎

消化酵素を生成する責任がある膵臓器官の炎症です。膵臓が炎症を起こすと、これらの酵素は消化管ではなく膵臓内で活性化されるため、腹膜炎(腹部全体の炎症)を引き起こす可能性があります。これらの動物は腹部が痛み、急性嘔吐がよく見られます。膵炎は命に関わる病気であり、これらの症状がある動物は緊急の獣医の注意と入院治療が必要です。一部の場合、膵炎は犬の消化器系が単に処理できない脂肪(ベーコンなど)を摂取した結果が多いです。これらの理由から、Hills Science Dietなどのドッグフードを食事として摂取することをお勧めします。

尿路および生殖器疾患

腎不全は高齢の猫に非常に一般的であり、高血圧、貧血、および電解質(血液中の塩分)の変化などの他の問題を引き起こす慢性的で命に関わる病気です。ペットはまた、私たちと同様に非常に痛みを伴う膀胱炎に罹患する傾向があり、これは感染症、膀胱結石などに起因する場合があります。卵巣、子宮、前立腺の問題も発生しますが、ほとんどのペットが去勢手術を受けているため、頻度は低いです。

腎不全

慢性腎不全(腎不全)の症状は、一般的には過度の嘔吐と過度の尿排出と体重減少です。ペットが腎不全に罹患している可能性がある場合は、これを確認するために実施できる血液検査と尿検査があります。できれば尿サンプルを持参してくださいが、必要に応じて診察中に採取することもできます。腎不全では高血圧がしばしば発生し、病気の進行を加速させることがありますので、獣医師は血圧測定を勧める場合があります。ほとんどの場合、腎不全は治癒できませんが、異なる薬、食事、ライフスタイルの変更を通じて生活の質を向上させることができます。

尿失禁

尿失禁は、特に雌犬の場合、ほとんどの場合で管理できる高齢犬の一般的な問題です。

ホルモン疾患

糖尿病とクッシング病(副腎過活動)は犬にかなり一般的です。糖尿病は肥満の猫にもよく見られます。甲状腺機能亢進症(甲状腺過活動)は、猫における最も一般的な老化問題の1つです。

これらの問題を示唆する微妙な早期の兆候には、過度の喉の渇き、頻尿、体重減少が含まれます。人間と同様に、これらの状態を管理し、場合によっては逆転させることができます。

糖尿病

糖尿病は、インスリン欠乏(タイプI)またはインスリン抵抗性(タイプII)がある状態です。犬の場合、原因は一部の場合には慢性膵炎であることがありますが、ほとんどの場合、糖尿病は説明なしに発症します。猫の場合、肥満(特にバーミーズ猫)がタイプII糖尿病を発症するリスク因子であることが示されています。

糖尿病の症状には、過度の喉の渇き、頻尿、時には白内障(後期)が含まれます。犬の糖尿病では、体重減少がしばしば特徴ですが、必ずしも猫ではありません。ペットにこれらの兆候のいずれかを見つけた場合は、診察に来ていただき、即座に診断を行うための血液検査を行うことができます。人間と同様に、インスリン注射による早期治療が開始されれば開始されるほど、結果が良くなります。

ペットに注射をすることはペットオーナーにとって心配の種になることがあります。しかし、ほとんどの場合、チュートリアルと少しの練習の後、注射は自然なものになります。使用される針は非常に小さなものなので、通常、ペットは注射を受けていることさえ気付きません!

甲状腺疾患

甲状腺疾患は、猫と犬の両方でよく見られます。高齢の猫では、甲状腺機能亢進症(甲状腺過活動)が見られ、その症状には食欲亢進がありますが、体重増加が乏しく、時には失明(高血圧の二次的な結果)もあります。甲状腺機能亢進症の猫は、かなり気難しいこともあります。

犬では、甲状腺機能低下症(甲状腺機能低下)が一般的です。症状には倦怠感、毛の抜け毛(または剃った後の毛の成長が悪い)および肥満が含まれます。残念ながら、甲状腺レベルが低い場合、他の病気がある犬もいますが、これは診断を混乱させる可能性があります。このような場合、通常、甲状腺疾患が重要かどうか、または他の病気の結果であるかを明確にするために、さらなる検査が必要になります。

I've been taking my cat to Gordon Vet since she was a kitten. Every vet we've seen have been wonderful and have provided the best service and advice. They're very thorough and will always make sure that your pet feels comfortable. The receptionists are super friendly and the online booking system is easy to use!

Recently visited with our little cat on a late sunday morning. We called in just before they were due to close & they were happy to stay back and check over our cat so we didn't have to run to the emergency vet. DR Helen was incredibly kind and professional. She eased our worries & treated the medical issue with our cat. I feel very confident bringing our cat into see any DR at Gordon Vet Hospital as I know each staff member is genuinely caring and passionate about helping animals.

We looked for the vet with the least amount of 1-star ratings in our local area. To our surprise there are a lot of shocking reviews out there for vet clinics. Gordon Vet Hospital had the best rating by a long shot.So we called first thing yesterday morning and managed to get a booking pretty early in the morning for our cat whose condition was getting rapidly worse.Everything about our experience was lovely. From the empathetic receptionist, to the vet who is taking care of our cat who has kept us informed twice a day about her condition and took the time to answer all our questions.The cost estimate was given up-front and was very reasonable compared to every other practice.We couldn't be happier.-M

Really good with dealing with Covid by inviting patients to stay outside and they come to you. They have lots of people helping out. The only thing is that it is quite expensive compared to other vets.

Dr Catherine Chen is amazing and the only vet I trust with my three cavalier girls. Other vets have always been judgemental, but Catherine listens and works with you to come to a compromise to what is best for my girls going forward. Last time my tri went in to have a dental and she was completely happy to be there even went back in with the nurse wagging her tail while we were waiting outside! We even drive the distance since moving as we completely value Catherine's skill, expertise and manner.

First time going to Gordon Vet Hospital with my little pooch. Parking was fairly easy. The front staff very friendly. We had Vet Dr Imogene who showed genuine interest in my pooch & was very knowledgeable when asked alot of questions. Dr Imogene made us feel that we could trust her to do what is best for our pooch. Very happy to go back.Price point - they would be slightly on the higher side.A good place for your best friend 🐶

Thanks to all the team at the Gordon Vet Hospital. I transferred my dogs here a couple of year's ago from another local vet clinic as a quote for some oral work was significantly cheaper and have never regretted it. Not only good value, but excellent care, great follow up and support and my two dogs love the free liver treats - making the visits a positive experience.

They are the most understanding and caring group of people I have met. After my dog had to be put to sleep a sympathy card was sent with her paw prints and bit of hair attached and beautiful words of sympathy. A lovely thought. I would recommend this practice to anyone.

My family and I have lived in the area for over 30 years and we have never been to any other practice. The care and compassion the vets have shown towards our babies has always been of the highest standard. I would particularly like to thank Dr Coggins for the care and compassion she has shown towards me in recent months with Salem (who unfortunately was PTS this past Sunday) and also with Lilah. This practice has a real gem in her!

Well it's never nice to have to take your beloved pet(s) to the vets but sometimes you just have to. Gordon Vets are similarly priced to others in this locale but they are well organised, off street parking and the vets are compassionate about the care of animals. Even separate entrances for dogs and cats ! See attached photo. Educated, literate cats queue up outside (ir's actually the practice's resident cat).

Extremely happy with Imogen and the team. I had lost ALL faith in vets after going to GreenCross.Thankfully Gordon Vet Hospital surpassed all our hopes and expectations. Imogen was incredibly caring, clinically competent and finally solved the issue our cat had.The vet nurses and reception team seemed genuinely happy and were super friendly each time we’ve returned. Follow up care after the surgery for our cat was like night and day compared to what we’d been through at our old vet. Unlike at GreenCross where the final price always ended up being at the top of the quoted range, at Gordon Vet Hospital the quote was far more reasonable and the price ended up at the lower end of the estimate. Highly recommended this vet.

I can't rate Gordon Vet Hospital any higher. I took my 11yr old staffy in for surgery with the beautiful Imogene Ewen (amazing surgeon) and was managed by incredibly professional front office staff (Maddie). My dog, Coco was in the best of hands. The after care service is detailed and their love of animals is so very clear to all who enter. Exceptional service for the North Shore.

Gordon Vet has looked after my golden retriever since she was 9 weeks. Everyone has been amazing and caring with lots of experience. I have been able to ask any questions and always been welcome.Even one day when she stepped on a bee in the evening, they stayed open until we got there and helped her get it out.Thanks to all the staff :-)

Exceptional veterinary hospital. I have been taking my dog here for many years and although I now live in the Eastern Suburbs, I still drive across town to see the Vets at Gordon. The staff are highly skilled, compassionate, friendly and helpful. My 9 year old dog has had 2 knee operations (1 on each knee!) and the outcome of these surgeries far exceeded my expectations. I have been incredibly impressed with the care provided during all of our visits. I would highly recommend Gordon Vet Hospital.

Compassionate, caring and highly skilled veterinary surgeons who treat their patients and owners with respect. The nursing and administration staff are efficient and remember their patients by name which is a lovely touch. A lovely vet practice which despite our Golden Retriever Finn’s complex medical history, is always welcoming to him and he never displays any signs of anxiety when attending. Dr Helen is lovely and a firm favourite of ours!

We found a stray, agitated dog in front of our house last night. We phoned but got no help from the Council ranger who gave two options: tie him up in front yard overnight or "let him loose, he'll find his own way home" :( So we phoned Gordon Vet: they stayed open a few minutes so we could run him up and he could have a bed and dinner. Thank you Gordon Vet Hospital, hope he gets home soon!!! :)

Absolutely love the service here. I switched from other Vets to this Vet as the staff here are quite attentive and really care about your furry baby! I have basically seen most of the Dr's here and all of them so far have been fantastic, friendly and fun to speak with! Easy to locate and enough parking available! 5 Stars indeed!
