Veterinary Internal Medicine in Clinton Township

Like people, dogs and cats can suffer from heart diseases and disorders. With the technology in our in-house vet lab, our vets can examine your pet for signs of heart conditions so that you have results quickly. Fast results mean starting treatment sooner. 

If your veterinarian is unable to diagnose or treat your dog or cat's heart condition as part of our internal medicine checks, we will refer you to a Board Certified Internal Medicine Vet near Clinton Township and collaborate with your specialist to ensure that your pet receives the best care possible.

The immune system of your pet is in charge of detecting foreign invaders or abnormal cells and initiating defensive action to protect the animal's health. However, the immune system does not always function properly, and your pet may be diagnosed with an immune-mediated disorder.

Common immune-mediated disorders in dogs and cats include anemia, arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, hypothyroidism, allergies, and skin diseases.

The respiratory system of your pet is responsible for delivering oxygen to the body and eliminating waste gases such as carbon dioxide. Because dogs and cats do not sweat like humans, your pet's respiratory system is also important in regulating body temperature.

There are a number of common pulmonary disorders seen in dogs, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), canine distemper virus, pneumonia, and lung tumors.

Common pulmonary disorders in cats include asthma, bronchitis, parasitic worms, bacterial infections, and viruses. 

GI disorders are a common internal medicine problem seen by our Clinton Township veterinarians. GI disorders affect your pet's stomach and intestines, impairing the animal's ability to digest food and absorb nutrients.

Pets suffering from GI problems often experience symptoms such as blood in stool, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, gas, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and weight loss.

Veterinary internal medicine also covers urology conditions such as urinary tract infections (UTIs) in dogs and feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) in cats.

The urinary tract of your pet is made up of the kidneys, the tubes that carry urine to the bladder, the bladder, and the urethra, which transports urine out of your animal's body. Urinary tract problems can affect any part of the urinary system.

A number of glands work hard to secrete essential hormones into your pet's body. The endocrine system of your pet is made up of these glands and hormones. Skin problems and poor coat conditions can occur when your pet's endocrine system is not functioning properly.
