Diabetes is not uncommon in pets and can be treated with a little extra time and attention. If your pet experiences sudden weight gain or loss; is excessively drinking or urinating; or shows signs of lethargy, Animal Medical Care can determine whether diabetes might be the problem through a simple physical exam and in-house lab work.

Should your pet have diabetes, Animal Medical Care will discuss the best course of action for you and your pet, which may include dietary changes, insulin injections, or periodic blood tests. Together, we can minimize the potential hazards associated with diabetes so that your pet can live a happy, healthy life.

Both dogs and cats are susceptible to thyroid conditions, including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and thyroid cancer. Thyroid problems may be indicated by sudden weight gain or loss; lethargy; increased appetite, thirst, or urination; and changes in heart rate.

Many thyroid conditions can be treated with medication, but sometimes surgery is required. If you suspect that your pet may have a thyroid problem, Animal Medical Care is here to get to the bottom of it.

Dogs and cats may experience problems with many internal organs that can either be treated or managed to reduce any discomfort. If you notice that your pet is not acting like himself or herself, has a decrease in appetite, or is suddenly less active, Animal Medical Care has the tools necessary to diagnose your pet and develop a plan of treatment.

An ultrasound is a procedure performed in our office that is non-invasive and will allow us to assess the condition of your pet’s organs. This can be especially helpful when one of our veterinarians suspects your pet may have an abdominal, respiratory, or cardiac concern.
