Internal Medicine

Veterinary internal medicine involves the diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of conditions affecting the internal organs such as the heart, liver, kidneys, and lungs. This process involves a combination of an in-depth review of patient history along with a thorough physical examination and a variety of diagnostic tests. 

Tools such as blood screens, x-rays and ultrasound imaging allow us to gain insight into what’s happening inside your pet’s body so that an accurate and timely diagnosis can be reached, and the appropriate treatment strategy can be implemented.

At Heron Lakes Animal Hospital, we are pleased to offer internal medicine services to help manage the ongoing health of our patients. Additionally, our convenient on-site laboratory facilitates timely and accurate test results. 

Rest assured that whatever may be ailing your furry family member, we are well-equipped and fully prepared to get to the bottom of it so that we can help return your pet to a normal, healthy lifestyle as soon as possible.

The team at Heron Lakes Animal Hospital is experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of cancers.
