What Is Veterinary Internal Medicine?
Veterinary internal medicine focuses on diagnosing and managing diseases that affect your pet’s internal systems. These include the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, liver, endocrine glands, lungs, and more. When symptoms are subtle or persist without clear answers, internal medicine offers the expertise and tools needed to get to the root of the issue.
Our internal medicine services are designed for pets who need deeper insight, long-term support.

Our experienced veterinary team is equipped to manage a wide range of chronic and complex health concerns, including:
- Gastrointestinal disorders (vomiting, diarrhea, IBD)
- Kidney and urinary tract diseases
- Liver disease and abnormal liver values
- Endocrine disorders (diabetes, thyroid conditions, Cushing’s disease)
- Respiratory conditions and chronic coughing
- Infectious diseases and immune-mediated disorders

Advanced Diagnostics for an Accurate Answer
We believe a clear diagnosis is the first step toward the right treatment plan. That’s why we use advanced diagnostic tools in-house, allowing us to get answers quickly and accurately.
Our internal medicine diagnostics include:
- Digital radiographs (X-rays) for detailed imaging
- Abdominal ultrasound to visualize internal organs
- Comprehensive blood panels and urinalysis

Compassionate, Personalized Treatment Plans for Your Pets
Once we understand what’s happening inside your pet’s body, we’ll create a treatment plan designed around their specific diagnosis and overall health. We take the time to explain your options and support your decisions, always putting your pet’s comfort and quality of life first.
From dietary changes and medications to long-term disease management and ongoing monitoring, your pet’s care plan will be tailored with expertise and heart, because that’s what they deserve.
