Internal Medicine at MVES
Internal Medicine Veterinarians are highly trained and qualified veterinarians who have undergone specialized training to understand the complex interactions of your pet’s bodily systems and organs. They specialize in assessing, diagnosing, and treating diseases in cats’ and dogs’ internal organs, such as the liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, lungs/airway, and endocrine systems.
Internists specialize in treating a wide range of diseases and conditions. Some common conditions include diabetes, blood disorders, infections, cancer, digestive tract issues, hormone/endocrine disorders, autoimmune diseases, and kidney, liver, gallbladder, lungs, and urinary/reproductive tract diseases.
Specialized diagnostic testing is often required to obtain accurate diagnoses and disease treatment. Our team can perform most of these tests in-house, leading to rapid answers. Diagnostic testing may include ultrasound, CT scan, bloodwork, urinalysis, bone marrow biopsies, internal biopsies, endoscopy, bronchoscopy, rhinoscopy, etc. Using specialized equipment and resources will help us understand what is happening to your pet so we can develop the best treatment plan for them.
