Internal Medicine

Request an Appointment

Veterinary internal medicine includes all issues involving your pet’s internal systems.

The team at Town & Country Veterinarians has years of experience in diagnosing and treating internal medicine cases, and we have a collection of diagnostic tools and treatment options at our disposal. If your pet is exhibiting symptoms of an internal condition, we will conduct a comprehensive physical exam of your pet to diagnose the issue and create a detailed treatment plan customized for their needs.

Gastroenterology

Gastrointestinal (GI) conditions affect your pet’s stomach and intestines, causing discomfort and the inability to digest food and absorb nutrients properly. Pets with GI problems often experience symptoms such as blood in stool, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, gas, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and weight loss.

Nutrition

While all pets are different, there are some general rules and nutritional guidelines to follow for optimum health. For example, healthy puppy and kitten nutrition requires higher calories and protein, while older dogs and cats need fewer calories and more fiber.

Our veterinarians start with an assessment of your pet’s health and stage of life. We combine this with your pet’s individual needs, such as allergy and health considerations, to build a diet plan that is rich in the nutrients to keep your dog or cat healthy.

Oncology

Cancer is a disease that can impact even the fittest of animals. When diagnosed and treated in the early stages, your pet’s chances of recovery increase. Treatments can consist of surgeries, therapies, or a combination of the two.

Some of the most common cancers in dogs include mast cell tumors, melanoma, lymphoma, and bone cancer. In cats, some of the most common cancers include lymphoma, feline leukemia virus (FeLV), mammary cancer, and skin cancer.

Urology

Your pet’s urinary tract consists of their kidneys, the tubes that carry urine to the bladder, the bladder, and the urethra that conducts urine out of your pet’s body. Urinary tract disorders, such as urinary tract infections (UTIs) in dogs and feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) in cats, can affect any part of this system.
