Internal Medicine
Veterinary internal medicine specialists diagnose and treat many different diseases involving a pet’s internal organs and immune system. Including the esophagus, liver, kidneys, pancreas, lungs, airways, blood cells, infectious diseases, urinary tract to name just a few!
A multi-disciplinary veterinary specialty center would not be complete without a strong internal medicine practice.
Since many diseases and conditions affecting pets have similar symptoms, often occurring simultaneously, it takes an adept ‘puzzle solver’ to diagnose what’s wrong.
VCA Leesburg Veterinary Internal Medicine is staffed by two exceptionally qualified specialists who take a practical approach to utilizing the most progressive options available to solve complex conditions.
With extensive knowledge and experience in the management of complicated, multi-factoral disease processes, in particular- immune mediated, gastrointestinal, renal, respiratory, liver, endocrine and hematologic diseases – We’ll develop and implement a long-term treatment plan specifically for your pet.
We will work collaboratively with you and your primary care veterinarian with the health and well being of your pet being our shared goal.
