Quality Internal Medicine

Restoring hope and wellness through internal medicine care.

Is your dog coughing? Has your cat lost his or her appetite? Does your pet’s mobility suddenly seem impaired? When you notice symptoms that your pet may be ill, it’s important to seek treatment quickly to help prevent your pet’s condition from worsening.

A golden retriever puppy rests its head on a person's lap while being gently petted, enjoying the calm attention, much like a vet providing comfort. The person is wearing blue jeans and a beige sweater.

What To Look For

A blue silhouette of a cat and a dog sits close together, facing each other with their noses almost touching. A blue heart outline surrounds them, symbolizing the caring bond between pets and their veterinarian.

Simply put, internal medicine addresses problems in your pet’s internal systems that can be treated through medicine as opposed to surgery. Examples include organ diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, heart diseases, infections, joint problems, metabolic problems, anemia, and more.
