Understanding Pet Internal Medicine
Pet internal medicine is a specialized branch of veterinary care that delves deep into diagnosing and treating diseases affecting your furry companion’s internal systems. These systems, including cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urinary systems, are essential for your pet’s overall health and well-being. Unlike external issues that are more visible, internal conditions can be complex and challenging to detect without the right expertise and diagnostic tools.
When to Consider Pet Internal Medicine
Knowing when to seek pet internal medicine services is crucial for maintaining your furry friend’s health. Symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, increased thirst, or unexplained weight loss warrant a visit to Northwood Animal Hospital. These could indicate underlying issues affecting internal systems.
Pets with chronic conditions like diabetes or heart disease require specialized care and monitoring from internal medicine experts. Our team is trained to diagnose and manage these conditions, providing tailored care for your pet’s needs.

Pet Internal Medicine Across Life Stages
- Puppies and Kittens: During these early stages of life, internal medicine focuses on rapid growth monitoring and preventive care. This includes vaccinations, deworming, and nutrition guidance to ensure they develop into healthy adults.
- Adult Pets: For adult pets, internal medicine involves routine check-ups to maintain their health. This includes screenings for common adult pet issues like heartworm disease, dental care, and weight management to prevent obesity-related conditions.
- Senior Pets: As pets age, they become more susceptible to age-related conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, and kidney disease. Internal medicine provides specialized care for these conditions, focusing on pain management, dietary adjustments, and monitoring to maintain quality of life.
- Post-Surgery or Illness: After surgery or illness, pets may need extra care for a smooth recovery. Internal medicine tailors recovery plans, including medication management and rehabilitation, to ensure quick healing and return to normal function.
- Chronic Conditions: Pets with chronic conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, or heart disease require ongoing management. Internal medicine provides personalized treatment plans, regular monitoring, and adjustments to medication or diet as needed.
