Expert Internal Medicine Consultations
At Orangeburg Veterinary Associates, we are committed to diagnosing and treating complex medical conditions through our internal medicine consultations. Internal medicine focuses on the inner body systems of pets, allowing us to assess and manage various medical conditions using non-invasive techniques. Our goal is to provide expert, compassionate care to help your pet live a healthier, happier life.
What is Veterinary Internal Medicine?
Veterinary internal medicine specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases that affect the body’s internal systems, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, gastrointestinal tract, endocrine system, and immune system. Many pets suffer from chronic or unexplained symptoms that require deeper investigation beyond standard check-ups. Our team utilizes advanced diagnostics to pinpoint the cause of your pet’s health issues and create a customized treatment plan.
Conditions We Diagnose & Treat
Our internal medicine consultations help detect and manage a variety of conditions, including:
- Gastrointestinal disorders (vomiting, diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease)
- Endocrine diseases (diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, Cushing’s disease, Addison’s disease)
- Respiratory conditions (asthma, chronic bronchitis, pneumonia)
- Kidney and liver disease
- Heart conditions (hypertension, heart murmurs, cardiac disease)
- Autoimmune disorders
- Infectious diseases (Lyme disease, feline leukemia, tick-borne illnesses)
Why Internal Medicine is Essential for Pet Health
Many internal medical conditions can be difficult to detect because symptoms may be subtle or overlap with multiple diseases. A professional internal medicine consultation ensures:
- Early detection of serious diseases – Catching issues early leads to better treatment outcomes.
- Personalized treatment plans – Every pet receives a tailored care approach for their unique needs.
- Improved quality of life – Managing chronic illnesses helps pets feel better and stay active longer.
