General practitioners can handle many aspects of your pet’s care, but there are times when a specialist’s expertise leads to better outcomes for your pet. Just as your primary care physician might refer you to a specialist, your veterinarian may refer your pet to an internal medicine specialist for more advanced diagnostics and treatment. Internal medicine specialists are uniquely equipped to manage complicated cases, especially for pets that face multiple health conditions at once. Our internal medicine specialists’ expertise covers several body systems, including endocrine, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, hematologic, immune, and respiratory. They often collaborate with our Cardiology, Critical Care, Radiology, Surgery, and Oncology services to provide comprehensive care to our patients.
Any of the following symptoms may warrant further workup with one of our internal medicine specialists.
Our internal medicine specialists use an array of advanced diagnostic modalities to make diagnoses.
At AESC, our internal medicine service offers various treatments to address these complex medical conditions. Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual pet’s needs, and our internal medicine specialists consider factors like age, overall health, and lifestyle in designing a treatment plan.
