INTERNAL MEDICINE
Internal Medicine
If your pet becomes ill or you suspect there may be something wrong with him or her, we cover all areas of internal medicine, including endocrinology (e.g. diabetes and related diseases), gastrointestinal disease, renal and hepatic failure, and others.
In order to provide you and your pet with an accurate and speedy diagnosis in a low-stress setting, our hospital is fully equipped with a wide range of cutting-edge diagnostic resources as well as a high degree of professional expertise. We also believe that educating you regarding your pet’s condition and treatment options results in better care for your pet. We have extensive educational resources and materials in our hospital and are more than willing to take the time required to provide you with a full understanding of the tests being performed, your pet’s condition, and treatment options.
Veterinary Cancer Care
A diagnosis of cancer can be frightening. Thankfully, many pets react well to treatments such as tumor removal surgery and chemotherapy, enabling them to lead joyful, healthy lives. Additionally, pets usually experience fewer side effects from chemotherapy compared to humans, and many go on to flourish well after beating their cancer.
Millwood Animal Hospital treatments include diagnostics, surgical excision, and chemotherapy. We can also refer you to a veterinary oncology specialist.
Dermatology & Allergies
The first signs and symptoms of allergies and dermatological conditions in pets include:
-
Inflamed ears
-
Hotspots, especially those that recur
-
Scratching or rubbing the eyes or mouth area
-
Flaking/lesions on the skin
-
Hair loss
-
Red itchy bumps on the skin
-
Asthma-like wheezing or respiratory issues
These symptoms may point to serious dermatological issues or allergic reactions to fleas, pollen, dust, or specific foods. If you observe any of these signs, it's important to have your pet evaluated, as they can lead to more serious concerns. At Millwood Animal Hospital, we diagnose and treat a range of allergic and dermatologic conditions and determine the best course of action for your pet. We will provide you with guidance on your pet’s condition, prevention techniques, and suitable home care options.
