What is Veterinary Internal Medicine?
Veterinary internal medicine focuses on diagnosing and managing diseases affecting the internal systems of pets. This includes heart, lung, liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, and endocrine system conditions. Because these illnesses often require advanced diagnostics, we work closely with a highly skilled veterinary internist who visits our clinic weekly to perform specialized procedures such as consult ultrasounds and endoscopic procedures.
