At Family Vet Services, we are committed to addressing any health issues your pet may face to ensure effective treatment. Internal medicine involves a deep understanding of your pet’s biology, allowing us to handle complex medical cases such as cancer, thyroid disorders, skin diseases, and more. Our team conducts thorough physical exams and uses advanced diagnostics to diagnose and manage your pet’s condition, providing them with the best possible care.
Dealing with Cancer
Cancer is a serious concern, especially for older pets, as they become more vulnerable to the disease with age. A cancer diagnosis is always difficult, but at Family Vet Services, we are committed to providing the best care for your pet. This may involve a referral to an oncology specialist or offering palliative care to keep them comfortable. Common cancers in cats include lymphoma, fibrosarcoma, and squamous cell carcinoma, while in dogs, osteosarcoma, lymphoma, and hemangiosarcoma are more prevalent. Unfortunately, many types of cancer can affect pets, but with thorough exams, lab work, and digital imaging, we aim to catch it early when treatments are most effective. Biopsies are particularly valuable in confirming cancer and identifying its specific type, helping us determine the best course of action.
Managing Other Complex Conditions
The key to managing complex conditions is early detection. Regular wellness exams and preventive care help us identify abnormalities sooner, making treatment more effective and manageable. When you bring your pet in for a check-up, we can perform routine blood work and chemistry panels to ensure there are no hidden health issues. Since many conditions develop as your pet ages and becomes more vulnerable, more frequent visits are essential for their long-term health.
