Internal Medicine
Dr. Michelle Kapty.
The Adobe Pet Hospital offers consultation, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment for a wide range of both acute and chronic internal medicine problems. Our comprehensive care includes many support services, including a complete in-house laboratory offering routine and specialized diagnostic tests, radiographs (X-rays), ultrasound exams, endoscopy of the gastrointestinal tract, echocardiography (ultrasound examination of the heart), as well as fluid and oxygen therapy.
Your pet’s treatment team consists of your Veterinarian, a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) and at least one additional member of our nursing staff. Their goal is to provide not only state-of-the-art care, but as much love, attention, pats and kind words as possible.
