How We Can Help You With Our Pet Medical Services
We provide various medical services at Thomas Glen Erin Animal Hospital to ensure your pet has a long and joyful life.
Unraveling the Mystery of Pet Stomach Gurgles
The troubling gurgling in your four-legged friend’s stomach can be caused simply by digestion or numerous issues affecting the esophagus, stomach, gallbladder, pancreas and intestines. Pet gastroenterology complications can be difficult to diagnose as symptoms such as vomiting, flatulence, weight loss, diarrhea and blood in stools can be signifiers of different diseases including parasites, ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease and allergies.
Hormones and Your Pet’s Health
We help with problems that affect your pet’s endocrine system, which consists of tissues, mostly glands, that release hormones into the bloodstream. These hormones regulate your pet’s growth, metabolism and development. When a hormone balance is affected, diabetes, hypothyroidism, which can be seen frequently in canines, Cushing’s Disease, and Addison’s Disease can develop. Look out for symptoms that include, but are not limited to weight loss, increased drinking and urination.
If you notice a change in your pet’s behaviour, it is always best to err on the side of caution and come in for a check-up. We will provide you with the necessary education on your pet’s condition and work with you to improve their long-term quality of life.
