Veterinary Internal Medicine in Medford, OR
At McAndrews Veterinary Clinic and Immediate Care, we provide veterinary internal medicine for dogs and cats in Medford and throughout the Rogue Valley. Our team diagnoses and manages chronic and complex conditions using in-house lab testing, digital imaging, and practical treatment plans — all in a privately owned clinic that prioritizes quality medicine and accessible care.
Advanced Diagnostics for Ongoing Health Conditions
Internal medicine focuses on diagnosing and managing diseases that affect your pet’s internal systems — including the liver, kidneys, endocrine system, gastrointestinal tract, and immune system. While we do not have board-certified specialists on staff, our veterinarians provide comprehensive general internal medicine supported by digital radiology, ultrasound, and in-house lab testing for faster answers and timely treatment decisions.
If your dog or cat is experiencing ongoing symptoms, unexplained weight changes, chronic vomiting or diarrhea, or abnormal lab results, internal medicine may be recommended. Our goal is to identify the root cause and create a realistic, long-term management plan that fits both your pet’s needs and your family’s budget.
What to Expect From Internal Medicine Care
When your pet needs deeper investigation beyond a routine wellness exam, internal medicine allows us to take a more thorough approach. At our Medford veterinary hospital, we combine diagnostics with personalized follow-up care to monitor chronic illness and improve long-term quality of life.
In-House Testing
CBC, chemistry panels, urinalysis, fecal testing, cytology, and digital X-rays help us evaluate organ function and identify underlying disease quickly.
Long-Term Management
We develop structured treatment plans for chronic conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, kidney disease, and gastrointestinal illness.
