Internal Medicine Conditions

Some conditions specific to your pet’s internal health require advanced knowledge, careful management, and long-term monitoring and care. Such conditions fall under the umbrella of internal medicine—a specialized focus on areas including but not limited to:

  • Immunology — Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia and immune-mediated polyarthritis
  • Gastroenterology — Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other digestive disorders affecting the upper or lower gastrointestinal tract
  • Infectious diseases — Lyme disease, leptospirosis
  • Hematology — Blood cell disorders and deficiencies
  • Endocrinology — Hormone-related conditions, such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, Cushing’s disease, and Addison’s disease

  • Oncology — Cancer diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment
  • Respiratory — Upper and lower respiratory tract diseases and dysfunction (e.g., asthma) and structural problems (e.g., laryngeal paralysis)
  • Cardiology — Heart-related disorders and conditions
  • Conditions of the liver, kidney, and pancreas — Liver shunts, renal disorders, and pancreatic conditions, including diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI)

Expert Care

While DVM referral is available for complex cases, our clients are often reassured to learn that their pet can continue to receive all their necessary care at Neighborhood Veterinary Centers. Care includes:

  • An expert network — NVC veterinarians are a wealth of information and often work collaboratively on complex cases to ensure thorough assessment, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment.
  • Laboratory diagnostics — Our extensive in-house laboratory allows us to perform a wide array of diagnostic tests on-site, ensuring rapid and accurate results, and allowing us to reach a diagnosis and begin treatment right away.
  • Advanced imaging — Digital X-rays, fluoroscopy, and CT provide detailed imaging of your pet’s internal structures.
  • Specialized tests — If further testing is required, NVC veterinarians can consult with experts and consultants at the country’s largest diagnostic reference laboratories.
  • Procedures and treatment — In addition to sample collection (e.g., biopsy, fluid analysis, blood tests), our knowledgeable team can perform complex procedures and treatments that include blood transfusions, immunotherapy, airway washes, and surgery. Depending on your pet’s condition, our veterinarians will present you with all treatment options, as well as tailored recommendations.
