Internal Medicine for Dogs and Cats
Internal medicine covers a broad range of organ systems, including the gastrointestinal tract, endocrine system, kidneys, and liver. When your pet shows signs such as persistent vomiting, changes in appetite, increased thirst, or unexplained weight loss, our team will perform a thorough physical assessment and recommend appropriate follow-up testing. We manage conditions affecting multiple body systems and coordinate care with our pet diagnostics services to gather a clearer picture of your pet’s health. Our goal is to support your pet’s comfort and quality of life through thoughtful, individualized management plans.
Dermatology Assessments for Dogs and Cats
Skin problems are among the most common reasons pets visit the veterinary clinic. At Brentwood Animal Hospital, our team performs initial dermatology assessments for dogs and cats presenting with itching, hair loss, skin lesions, ear infections, or recurring skin concerns. We will assess the affected areas, review your pet’s history, and recommend appropriate next steps. Cases requiring advanced dermatology workup or specialist evaluation are referred to ensure your pet receives the right level of support for their condition.
Cardiology Assessments
Signs such as coughing, reduced exercise tolerance, rapid or irregular breathing, and fainting can indicate a concern with your pet’s cardiovascular system. Our team will perform a thorough physical assessment, including cardiac auscultation, to evaluate heart sounds and rhythm. We will discuss findings with you and refer cases requiring advanced cardiac workup or specialist consultation to an appropriate cardiologist. Early attention to cardiovascular changes can make a meaningful difference in long-term health management for your pet.
Ophthalmology Assessments
Eye health can change quickly, and early attention often makes a significant difference in outcomes. Our veterinary team performs initial ophthalmology assessments for dogs and cats presenting with discharge, redness, cloudiness, squinting, or changes in vision. We use appropriate examination tools to evaluate the eye and surrounding structures. Cases involving conditions that require specialist-level care, including advanced procedures or specialized equipment, are referred to a veterinary ophthalmologist to ensure the best possible outcome for your pet.
Gastroenterology and Digestive Health
Digestive health concerns are common in dogs and cats, ranging from acute vomiting and diarrhea to chronic conditions affecting the bowel, pancreas, and liver. Our team assesses gastrointestinal signs carefully, using physical examination combined with diagnostics such as bloodwork and imaging to evaluate your pet’s condition. We manage many digestive concerns in-house and refer cases requiring advanced gastroenterology expertise when appropriate. Supportive care plans are tailored to each patient to help restore and maintain digestive comfort over time.
Neurology Assessments
Neurological signs in pets, including seizures, sudden loss of coordination, weakness in the limbs, or changes in behavior, can be distressing for pet owners and require prompt attention. Our team performs initial neurological assessments to evaluate your pet’s presentation and help determine appropriate next steps. Cases requiring advanced neurological evaluation or specialist intervention are referred with our full support. Our team will guide you through the process and ensure you understand the options available for your pet’s care.
