Specialty Surgical Services

Internal medicine specialists focus on diagnosing and managing complex conditions. While they don’t perform surgery, they work closely with surgical teams to ensure complete care.

At Canyon Hills Animal Hospital and Internal Medicine, we understand that some pets need more than routine internal medicine care - they need advanced surgical expertise.

  • General Mass Removal

  • Intrathoracic Procedures

  • Nephrectomy
