Dr. Matthew Krecic is a board-certified small animal internal medicine specialist who completed a residency at Mississippi State University after an internship at Auburn University and a DVM degree program at The Ohio State University. His interests include feline medicine (he is an ailurophile), endocrinology, infectious disease, and diagnostic testing. He especially enjoys helping colleagues develop practical diagnostic testing and treatment plans based on physical examination and initial diagnostic test results, including ultrasound findings.
He keeps busy practicing veterinary medicine with pet owners and their pets through a telemedicine provider, consulting with general practitioners through a reference laboratory, and authoring, writing, and editing peer-reviewed journal articles and other pieces. His latest publications include ones about using rescue glucagon injections in situations of severe hypoglycemia secondary to insulin in people with diabetes. Pending publications include one on canine brucellosis and another on an old weight-loss drug for dogs.
He currently resides in downtown Chicago with his rescued cat PufChik (she came with this name), where she tries her best to trip him daily.
