Internal Medicine for Cats & Dogs When Your Pet Can’t Tell You What’s Wrong, We Listen Closer

Unless you’re Dr. Doolittle, your pet can’t exactly explain what hurts. That’s why diagnosing internal health issues often requires a detective’s mindset—piecing together your pet’s lifestyle, behavior, clinical signs, bloodwork, imaging, and more to get to the root of the problem.

At McGee Street Animal Hospital, we combine decades of veterinary experience with advanced diagnostic tools to get a complete picture of your pet’s health. Whether your pet needs long-term management for a chronic condition or hospitalization for an acute illness, we’re equipped to provide the comprehensive care they need—right here in Norman. And if your pet’s condition requires a specialist’s insight, we’ll refer you to a trusted veterinary internist and work closely with them to ensure continuity of care.

What Conditions Fall Under Internal Medicine?

Internal medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases that affect your pet’s internal systems—many of which can be complex and chronic in nature. Some of the most common conditions we see and treat include:

  • Diabetes
  • Thyroid disorders (including hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism)
  • Heart disease
  • Kidney disease (acute and chronic)
  • Liver disease and hepatitis
  • Anemia and blood disorders
  • Gastrointestinal issues, including IBD
  • Infectious diseases
  • Respiratory conditions like asthma, pneumonia, and bronchitis

Many of these conditions require ongoing monitoring and adjustments to treatment over time. Our goal is always to keep your pet as healthy and comfortable as possible, while supporting you through every step of the process.

Diagnostic Testing for Internal Medicine

Getting to the right diagnosis starts with asking the right questions—and having the right tools. At McGee Street Animal Hospital, we offer a full range of in-house diagnostic testing to help us evaluate internal conditions quickly and accurately.

Depending on your pet’s symptoms, we may recommend:

  • Comprehensive blood panels, including CBC, chemistry profiles, and thyroid function tests

  • Urinalysis to assess kidney function and detect infection or inflammation

  • Fecal testing for parasites and digestive health

  • Digital X-rays to visualize the heart, lungs, abdomen, and skeletal system

  • Ultrasound for real-time imaging of internal organs and soft tissues

  • Cortisol testing for diagnosing adrenal and endocrine disorders

Because we perform most diagnostic testing in-house, we’re able to get results fast—often during your visit—which means less waiting, quicker answers, and faster relief for your pet.
