Internal Medicine in Moss Vale
Southern Highlands Veterinary Centre in Moss Vale provides internal medicine care for dogs, cats, exotic pets, horses, and livestock, with support from in-house diagnostics and imaging. We help manage complex or chronic conditions such as endocrine disorders, skin and ear issues, gastrointestinal problems, kidney or urinary disorders, and infectious diseases — with clear plans, ongoing monitoring, and practical guidance for long-term well-being.
Thoughtful Care for Complex Conditions
Internal medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating illnesses that aren’t resolved with a simple, single-visit solution. Our veterinarians take a whole-animal approach, using lab testing, ultrasound, radiographs, and careful history-taking to uncover the root cause. We then build a realistic treatment plan that fits your animal’s needs and your goals, whether that’s lifelong management or a shorter course of therapy.
Internal Medicine FAQs
Chronic illness can be confusing and stressful. These FAQs cover what internal medicine visits involve and how we support animals over time.
What conditions fall under internal medicine?
Internal medicine includes diseases affecting organs and body systems such as diabetes, thyroid disease, chronic skin or allergy issues, vomiting or diarrhoea, kidney or urinary problems, infectious diseases, and long-term pain or weight loss. We also monitor ongoing conditions to improve comfort and quality of life.
What happens during an internal medicine consultation?
We start with a detailed history and full physical exam, then recommend targeted diagnostics such as bloodwork, urinalysis, ultrasound, or radiographs. Once we understand the cause, we discuss treatment options, home care, and a monitoring schedule suited to your animal’s condition and species.
Do you offer chemotherapy or advanced therapies?
Yes. Our internal medicine services include a range of therapies, including chemotherapy when appropriate. We’ll discuss expected outcomes, side effects, and ongoing care needs so you can make an informed decision for your animal.
How can I help manage my pet’s chronic illness at home?
Consistency is key. We’ll give you a clear plan covering medication timing, diet, activity, and signs to watch for. Regular rechecks help us adjust dosing and keep your animal stable. If you notice changes before a scheduled visit, contact us early.
Practical, Collaborative Medicine
We understand that long-term treatment needs to be achievable. Our team works with you in a supportive, judgement-free way, explaining options clearly and tailoring plans to your animal’s lifestyle, role, and health priorities.
