Internal Medicine Treats Many Pet Illnesses

Internal medicine at the Animal Hospital of the Rockaways, Rockaway Park. Veterinary internal medicine is related to the diagnosis, management, and nonsurgical treatment of diseases. The Animal Hospital of the Rockaways is experienced in determining both the cause of your pet’s illness and the correct medications that can heal it.

For example, if your pet is experiencing seizures or vomiting, it could be due to a condition your pet was born with, an illness acquired later in life, or perhaps from an infectious or toxic substance in your pet’s environment. The internal medicine approach helps us to diagnose the cause efficiently and leads to the correct course of treatment.

Internal medicine treats many different kinds of pet problems, such as:

Respiratory system
Endocrine disorders
Reproductive organs
Liver
Kidneys
Immune system
Blood
Ocular disease
Gastrointestinal
Urinary
Gynecological

Because we cannot be experts on every condition, if your pet needs extra help we will refer you to the best specialist available.
