What Is Internal Medicine for Pets?

Our team specializes in diagnosing and managing complex diseases that affect your pet’s internal systems — offering expertise, advanced testing, and compassionate support every step of the way.

Veterinary internal medicine focuses on conditions involving the internal organs, immune system, and hormonal balance. It requires a deeper level of diagnostics and often a more nuanced treatment plan.

We often see patients referred for ongoing symptoms that haven’t responded to basic treatment or require more advanced diagnostics to uncover the underlying issue.

Common reasons pets are referred to our internal medicine services include:

  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Chronic vomiting or diarrhea
  • Coughing or breathing issues
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Abnormal lab results
  • Poor response to standard treatment

Conditions We Diagnose and Treat

Our internal medicine services address a wide range of serious and chronic health problems. These include:

Endocrine Disorders in Pets

We diagnose and manage conditions such as:

  • Diabetes
  • Cushing’s disease
  • Addison’s disease
  • Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism

Managing endocrine disorders in pets requires close monitoring, tailored medications, and ongoing evaluation to keep your pet stable and thriving.

Gastrointestinal Issues in Pets

Chronic vomiting, diarrhea, bloating, or weight loss may point to deeper digestive concerns. We diagnose and treat:

  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
  • Food sensitivities
  • Intestinal infections
  • Pancreatitis
  • Liver or gallbladder dysfunction

Our goal is to restore digestive health and improve your pet’s quality of life with targeted care.

Immune-Mediated Disease in Pets

Sometimes, the immune system goes awry — attacking the body’s own cells. Our team manages:

  • Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA)
  • Immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (ITP)
  • Lupus and other autoimmune diseases

These complex conditions require long-term management and deep diagnostic insight.

Cardiology Support & Diagnostics

Heart disease in pets is more common than many realize. We provide access to vet cardiology in Mechanicsville for pets experiencing coughing, weakness, or heart murmurs.

Whether your pet needs evaluation from an animal cardiologist or long-term monitoring of a heart condition, we’ll coordinate care and use tools like chest radiographs, ECGs, and blood pressure monitoring to guide treatment.

Managing Chronic Illnesses with Compassion

We understand how overwhelming it can feel to care for a pet with a long-term illness. From diagnostics to medication management, we help families navigate chronic pet illnesses with clarity and confidence.

You’ll always receive honest guidance, detailed explanations, and a customized care plan. And we’ll work closely with you to adapt your pet’s treatment as their needs change.
