The main role of a Specialist in Internal Medicine is to diagnose and treat complex or chronic medical conditions in dogs and cats, such as persistent vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, breathing difficulties, or issues related to the liver, kidneys, endocrine system, and immune system.
Many referred patients may have already been ill for some time and undergone numerous tests, yet the exact cause remains unclear. The responsibility of the internal medicine specialist is to help uncover the root of the problem and, based on each pet’s specific situation, develop appropriate treatment and long-term management plans.
Harvest Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Hospital (HVSEH) offers advanced diagnostic techniques, including endoscopic examinations (such as gastroscopy and colonoscopy) and bronchoscopy. These procedures use miniature cameras to directly observe the inside of the digestive or respiratory tract and allow tissue samples to be collected without surgery, enabling more accurate diagnoses.
During treatment, our internal medicine team maintains close communication with family veterinarians and places great importance on collaboration with pet owners. Our ultimate goal is always to improve the quality of life for pets, helping them live more comfortably.
