Veterinary Internal Medicine Specialists

Your pet’s internal body systems (gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, central nervous system, and endocrine system) are complicated, much like they are for humans. Determining the cause of issues in those systems can be challenging, especially since our pets cannot tell us what they’re experiencing. But they may give us signs that indicate something isn’t quite right. When these clinical signs are present, your family veterinarian may refer you to a specialist that has undergone extensive internal medicine training for small animals.

What to Expect During an Internal Medicine Visit

When you schedule your appointment, our team will share information about pre-registering for your visit and how to prepare, which may include things like making sure your pet has not eaten or bringing a list of their medications.

During your pet’s consultation, our team will review your pet’s medical records from your family veterinarian and discuss your pet’s lifestyle and health history with you. We will perform a comprehensive physical exam and check your pet’s vital signs including blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate.

Based on our findings, your pet may need advanced testing, such as an ultrasound, X-ray, or CT scan. We will discuss your pet’s diagnosis and treatment plan with you and answer any questions you may have. Our team partners with your family veterinarian to provide the best treatment options for your pet.
