Internal Medicine

Did you know that there are non-surgical options to help you treat and maintain certain diseases?

Internal Medicine is the branch of medicine concerned with the diagnosis, management and nonsurgical treatment of diseases. During a physical examination, your veterinarian may discover an abnormality which might involve the use of internal medicine.

Areas of the body which are commonly treated through internal medicine can include:

  • Lungs
  • Kidneys
  • Liver
  • Pancreas
  • Spleen
  • Intestinal Tract
  • Urinary Tract
  • Endocrine System
  • Neuromuscular Systems

Management of these conditions is typically done through a controlled or specific diet, a prescribed exercise routine and/or the use of certain medications.

For cases that involve even more advanced care, our doctors may recommend your pet to an Internal Medicine Specialist.
