Welcome to my website dedicated to small animal internal medicine and ultrasound diagnostics !
My mission is to help your pet enjoy a happy and healthy life.
Diagnostic process and caring for a sick pet can be difficult and frustrating. Communication between pet owner and veterinarian is vital to achieve best results. Treatment and care solutions must be always adjusted to both pet’s and owner’s needs at the same time.
It is very common for an animal to suffer from more than one disease at the time. It is important to look at the animal as a whole and decide which problems are a priority and how to treat them. I always treat the animal, not the disease.
I focus on the well-being of our patients in all their life stages.
Finding a way for you to enjoy your pet’s company for a long time is the most important thing to me.

Internal medicine
CARDIOLOGY
heart diseases
Both dogs and cats can suffer from various heart diseases.
Pets suffering from heart diseases exibit cough, increased respiratory rate, breathing difficulties, loss of consciousness and lowered activity level.
GASTROENTEROLOGY and HEPATOLOGY
digestive tract and liver diseases
Diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, regurgitation, anorexia, pain and bloating in the stomach area, problems with defecation and drooling can all be symptoms of gastrointestinal problems in both dogs and cats.
Liver and biliary diseases, pancreatitis, gastritis, chronic enteropathies or colitis are some of the examples of gastrointestinal diseases in dogs and cats.
ENDOCRINOLOGY
hormonal disorders
An endocrine disease is caused by an imbalance in hormone levels due to the body producing too much or too little of a specific hormone in the body. The health effects are variable, with some endocrine diseases proving fatal if left untreated – but others are easily managed.
Hormonal problems cause a variety of symptoms. Many times changes in skin and hair quality, appetite, weight, eating or drinking habits and activity level can be noticed.
GERIATRICS
health care of elderly animals
Elderly pets suffer from many age-related diseases, as kidney, heart, thyroid and liver problems. They are also at greater risk of developing diabetes mellitus or cancer.
Senior check-up is even more important if a dog or a cat start to exhibit symptoms, as weight loss, appetite changes, increased drinking or urination, lethargy, bad smells, loss of interest in playing, sleeping more than usually during the day or other behavioural changes.
Diseases connected to the respiratory system are common problems within both cats and dogs. These can cause significant discomfort and risk to the pet's life.
Coughing, sneezing, secretion from the nose and dyspnea are the main symptoms for both upper- and lower respiratory tract issues.
UROLOGY ja NEFROLOGY
urinary tract and kidney diseases
Same as humans, dogs and cats are susceptible to issues that affect the urinary tract. These problems can range from mild discomfort to serious medical issues.
Frequent signs of urinary problems are frequent urination, difficulties urinating, blood in the urine, incontinence, urinating in unusual places or strange smell to the urine. Animals suffering from kidney problems many times start to drink and urinate more than usual.
HEMATOLOGY ja IMMUNOLOGY
immune mediated and hematologic diseases
The immune system is very important to protect ourselves and pets from harmful viral and bacterial infections. Unfortunately, sometimes, the immune system malfunctions and starts causing disease, including destruction of cells and tissues, or inflammation and fever.
Hematologic abnormalities , such as anemia, white blood cell or platelet disorders can be caused by many acute and chronic diseases.
These diseases can be challenging to diagnose. Confidently establishing a correct diagnosis is therefore vital to ensure good quality of life for the patient.
INFECTIOUS DISEASES
Dogs and cats are affected by many viral, bacterial and parasitic diseases. Symptoms can be very variable and diagnosis require careful history taking, examination and laboratory testing.
Thanks to advances in veterinary medicine it is possible to diagnose and effectively treat many of such diseases and prevent possible zoonotic infections in humans.

Ultrasound examinations
Abdominal ultrasound examination is an important diagnostic tool which allows evaluation of urinary bladder and kidneys, liver, spleen, gastrointestinal tract and many others. Cardiac ultrasound (echocardiography) is the best way to diagnose heart diseases in dogs and cats. We are equipped with high quality ultrasound system which allows full evaluation of abdominal, thoracic, cardiac, eye and musculoskeletal problems. The examination is painless, fast, easy, and does not usually require sedation of the animal.
Ultrasound examinations:
Echocardiography (cardiac ultrasound)
Abdominal ultrasound
Thoracic ultrasound
Neck ultrasound

Additional testing
Patients with cardiac or respiratory problems require radiographic examination to establish a final diagnosis and treatment. Radiographs are also used to help diagnosing problems in the abdominal cavity, such as urinary calculi. We are equipped with modern digital x-ray system which allows fast and high quality diagnostic evaluation your pet. Modern equipment (ECG, Holter, blood pressure monitoring device) and wide range of diagnostic tools allows us to quickly and efficiently help your animal.
Other examinations:
ECG, resting - 5 min
Blood pressure measurement
X-rays
Diagnostic evaluation of your pet frequently requires laboratory testing. Blood tests helps diagnosing several problems, e.g. infections, kidney and liver problems, diabetes mellitus or electrolyte abnormalities. Urine is frequently checked if infections of urinary tract or kidney problems are suspected. More advanced endocrynological, microbiological or histopathological examinations, are done by co-operation with external laboratories.
Possible additional testing:
Blood examinations
Urine sampling by cystocentesis or catheterization
Cytologic examinations (blood smears, FNA)
Centeses (eg. thoracocentesis, abdominocentesis, pericardiocentesis)
Bacteriologic or viral testing
