Common Questions About Internal Medicine for Pets
Many pet owners across Madison Heights turn to internal medicine when their pet’s illness is complex or difficult to diagnose. The veterinarians at Oak Animal Hospital explain what to expect when your pet needs advanced medical care.
What does veterinary internal medicine include?
Internal medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases that affect a pet’s organs and internal systems. At Oak Animal Hospital in Madison Heights, this includes endocrine, gastrointestinal, urinary, and infectious disease management for dogs and cats.
When should my pet see an internal medicine veterinarian?
If your pet shows persistent symptoms like vomiting, weight loss, increased thirst, or changes in appetite or urination, an internal medicine evaluation can help identify underlying issues early.
What kinds of tests are used for diagnosis?
We use blood work, urinalysis, X-rays, and ultrasound to assess organ function and detect disease. These tests allow our veterinarians to make informed treatment recommendations and track progress over time.
Can chronic conditions be managed long-term?
Yes. Many pets with chronic illnesses — such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, or kidney disease — do very well with consistent monitoring, medication, and nutritional support. Our goal is to maximize your pet’s quality of life.
Do you work with veterinary specialists if needed?
Absolutely. While most internal medicine cases are managed in-house, Oak Animal Hospital collaborates with board-certified specialists for advanced diagnostics or procedures when necessary. This ensures seamless, coordinated care for every patient.
