Internal Medicine

Internal medicine involves the diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect the gastrointestinal, urinary, hematologic (spleen, blood), liver, endocrine, immune and respiratory systems. Our internal medicine service will help determine what disease is causing your pet's symptoms and will outline the treatment options available to you. Because our hospital is open for emergencies at night, animals that require hospitalization for a critical illness can be monitored and treated 24 hours per day. Dr. O'Keefe will also work closely with your regular veterinarian to ensure that your pet gets the continued care that is needed.
