What is veterinary internal medicine?

Internal medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating complex conditions affecting internal organs including the gastrointestinal tract, liver, lungs, kidneys, and endocrine system. Our specialists manage multiple medical issues simultaneously and are trained in rare and unusual diseases.

When should my pet see an internal medicine specialist?

Consider a referral if your pet has chronic, complex, or puzzling symptoms; needs advanced diagnostics unavailable at your primary vet; has multiple conditions requiring coordinated care; or needs specialized treatments like endoscopy or ultrasound-guided procedures.

Will my pet need to be sedated for internal medicine procedures?

Some procedures like endoscopy, CT scans, and certain ultrasound-guided biopsies require sedation or anesthesia. Others, like standard ultrasounds or blood pressure monitoring, typically don't require sedation.
