Internal Medicine

Internists are the puzzle solvers

Board-certified specialists in this field have extensive knowledge of all the internal systems of your pet’s body, including the digestive system, heart and lungs, urinary system, and hematologic (blood) systems. Plus, internists diagnose and treat oncologic (cancerous), infectious, and immune-mediated diseases.
