Advanced Internal Medicine Services for Cats in Vancouver, WA

Moutain Range White

At Feline Medical Clinic, we know cats can be mysterious, and not just in their behavior. Many chronic and complex illnesses aren’t always visible on the surface, which is why internal medicine plays such a vital role in advanced feline care.

We take a collaborative, thorough approach to uncovering what’s going on, using detailed diagnostics and our deep understanding of feline physiology. For cases that require more specialized evaluation, we work closely with a trusted internal medicine specialist who visits our clinic for formal consultations and ultrasound imaging.

When Is Internal Medicine Needed for Cats?

Internal medicine is often recommended when a cat is showing subtle signs of illness, not responding to initial treatments, or dealing with a chronic or systemic condition. These cases require deeper diagnostics, targeted management plans, and sometimes long-term care.

You might benefit from an internal medicine consult if your cat is experiencing:

  • Chronic vomiting or diarrhea

  • Unexplained weight loss or poor appetite

  • Abnormal lab results that require further exploration

  • Lethargy or sudden behavior changes

  • Respiratory issues or persistent coughing

  • Signs of endocrine disorders (like diabetes or hyperthyroidism)

  • Changes in thirst or urination

  • Suspected internal organ disease (kidneys, liver, pancreas, etc.)

  • Fever of unknown origin

Our veterinarians start with a thorough physical exam, blood work, urinalysis, and any needed imaging (X-rays or in-house ultrasound). If your cat’s case requires additional insight, we collaborate with a visiting internal medicine specialist who provides in-depth evaluations and performs formal ultrasound studies here in our Vancouver animal hospital, eliminating the need to travel elsewhere.
