Housecall Internal Veterinary Medicine

Our pets can’t simply tell us when they feel sick. Determining when your furry companion requires medical care depends on your careful observation of their behavior, our veterinarian’s expertise, and accurate diagnostic tools.

When to Schedule an Internal Medicine Appointment for Your Pet

During your pet’s regular wellness exams, our veterinarians do their best to establish a baseline for your pet’s health. If we notice any changes during these exams or receive abnormal lab results, we might recommend further testing.

  • Appetite Loss
  • Chronic Diarrhea or Vomiting

  • Incontinence or Absent Bowel Movements
  • Joint Pain
