Request an AppointmentDiagnosing internal conditions often requires a combination of a thorough physical examination, detailed history, and diagnostic testing such as blood work, urinalysis, and imaging. Where appropriate, we coordinate ultrasound and other diagnostics to gather a complete picture of your pet’s health. Because we provide care in your home, your pet can be evaluated in a calm, low-stress setting, which can make the diagnostic process easier and more accurate.
Managing a chronic illness is a partnership. Once a diagnosis is reached, Dr. Lowenstein works closely with you to create a manageable treatment plan that may include medication, dietary changes, and regular monitoring. We take the time to explain your pet’s condition clearly and to ensure you feel confident caring for them at home. Ongoing support through our Pet Wellness Program helps keep chronic conditions stable over the long term.
If your pet is showing signs of illness such as changes in appetite, weight, energy, or behavior, early evaluation is key. Please call us today at (212) 769-3900 to schedule an in-home internal medicine consultation.
