Expert diagnosis and treatment for your pet

Frankston Heights Vet - Internal Medicine
We’re dedicated to solving the complex health challenges that affect our patients. It’s all about uncovering what’s going on inside your pet and finding the best path to recovery.

What is internal medicine?

Put simply, internal pet medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating disease through careful investigation and treatment using medication, not surgery.

Our approach includes:

  • Asking detailed questions about your pet’s history and symptoms
  • Performing a full physical examination
  • Running laboratory tests on blood, urine or faeces
  • Using diagnostic imaging such as x-rays or ultrasound
  • Developing a tailored treatment plan focused on your pet’s comfort and long-term health
