A Closer Look at Complex Pet Health Concerns
Internal medicine helps us evaluate illnesses that may require more detailed diagnostics or ongoing care. We can help assess and manage conditions involving the kidneys and urinary system, blood, endocrine system, respiratory system, liver, pancreas, infectious disease, and heart health.
For pets who need cardiology care, we partner with a visiting cardiologist for testing such as electrocardiograms, radiographs, and other diagnostics. This support helps us better understand common and more complex heart conditions in dogs, cats, and some exotic pets.
Diagnostic Tools and Internal Medicine Services
Depending on your pet’s symptoms and health needs, our diagnostic tools may include ultrasound, echocardiography through our partner IVS, digital radiography, in-house blood and urine testing, outside laboratory testing, and in-house cultures.
Our internal medicine services also include bone marrow biopsies and aspirates, endocrine and metabolic testing and treatment, critical care management, and ultrasound-guided aspirates and biopsies.
K-Laser Therapy for Pain, Inflammation, and Healing
K-Laser therapy uses infrared wavelengths to help reduce discomfort, calm inflammation, and support tissue healing. It may be used alone or alongside other treatments for arthritis, dermatological conditions, post-surgical pain, cuts, bruises, and infections.
Specialty Referrals When Your Pet Needs More
Many internal medicine services are available in-house, but some conditions require specialty care. If your pet needs a referral, we’ll connect you with trusted specialists and stay involved in your pet’s treatment plan, follow-up care, and recovery.
