Desert Veterinary Medical Specialists We Love Caring for Our Patients and Their Families We believe there is a reason it’s called ‘Specialty’ Medicine. At DVMS, every patient is special.

Yes, we’re board-certified specialists, but it is the very special families and pets we have the privilege of caring for that make our profession so fulfilling. And it takes a very special primary care veterinarian to spearhead the collaborative effort that, together, we can provide. We receive referrals from veterinarians all across Arizona and the southwest and appreciate being called upon to provide specialized care. And every patient’s family deserves the time, compassion, and information they need to make decisions that are right for their pet. Please know that our goal is to assist you, in any way we can. We are glad you chose Desert Veterinary Medical Specialists.

When your pet’s breathing isn’t quite right, there can be more going on beneath the surface. Desert Veterinary Medical Specialists provide pulmonology care for respiratory conditions involving the lungs, airways, trachea, bronchi, and other parts of the respiratory system. Our specialists evaluate conditions such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, Valley Fever, and airway abnormalities while working alongside other veterinary professionals when needed.

Digital radiography produces cleaner, higher-resolution images than traditional film X-ray, and those images are available almost instantly so our radiologists can begin their evaluation without delay. The images can also be digitally adjusted after the fact, which means important details are less likely to be missed due to exposure issues. For pet owners, this translates to faster answers and a diagnostic process that keeps your pet's care moving forward. 🐾

If your primary vet suspects a serious underlying respiratory issue such as tracheal collapse, laryngeal paralysis, or pulmonary hypertension, the right next step is a referral to a specialist for advanced evaluation. At Desert Veterinary Medical Specialists, our team can perform pulmonary assessments, advanced imaging, and bronchoscopy to identify the root cause rather than managing symptoms alone.

📞 Call DVMS today at (480) 454-4373 for urgent specialist support.

Which of the following, when persistent and unresolved with standard treatment, most often signals a gastrointestinal condition requiring specialist evaluation?
A) Occasional sneezing
B) Gradual weight loss paired with chronic loose stools
C) Mild limping after exercise
D) Increased water intake alone

The answer is B — persistent weight loss combined with chronic loose stools is a hallmark presentation of conditions like inflammatory bowel disease or protein-losing enteropathy, both of which require specialist-level diagnostics to properly diagnose and manage. Desert Veterinary Medical Specialists internal medicine team is experienced in evaluating exactly these kinds of complex gastrointestinal cases. 🐾

📞 Call DVMS today at (480) 454-4373 to schedule a gastrointestinal consultation.

🚨 IMPORTANT PET MEDICATION RECALL NOTICE 🐾

Wedgewood Pharmacy has announced a voluntary nationwide recall of certain compounded veterinary medications due to potential concerns with medication potency.

The recall includes select medications distributed between February 18, 2026, and October 6, 2026.

If your pet receives medication from Wedgewood Pharmacy, we encourage you to check whether their prescription is affected.

🔎 Check Your Pet's Medication Here:

Pet owners can search for affected medications and review the corresponding lot numbers and expiration dates.

What should you do if your pet's medication is affected?

🐾 Contact your pet's prescribing veterinarian promptly to discuss appropriate treatment alternatives. Do not adjust medication doses on your own.

🐾 Contact Wedgewood's dedicated recall support team at 866-562-5931 for assistance with recalled medications and potential replacements.

At Desert Veterinary Medical Specialists, your pet's health and safety remain our priority. We encourage all pet owners utilizing Wedgewood Pharmacy to take a moment to review their medications.

23/10/2026

An echocardiogram gives Desert Veterinary Medical Specialists cardiologists a real-time, moving picture of your pet's heart, showing how chambers fill and contract, how valves function, and whether any structural changes are present. It requires no radiation and in most cases no sedation, making it a safe first-line tool for any pet suspected of having a cardiac condition. The detail an echocardiogram provides simply cannot be achieved through a physical exam or basic X-ray alone. 🐾🫀

📞 Call us today to schedule an echocardiogram for your pet.

21/10/2026

Diabetes mellitus in pets falls under veterinary internal medicine and specifically endocrinology, since it involves the body's hormone regulation systems rather than a structural or cardiovascular issue. An internal medicine specialist at Desert Veterinary Medical Specialists is trained to evaluate the full hormonal picture and build a treatment plan tailored to your individual pet. Whether your pet is newly diagnosed or a long-term diabetic whose management has become more complicated, an internist can be an invaluable part of their care team. 🐾⚖️

📞 Call DVMS today at (480) 454-4373 to schedule an endocrinology consultation.

19/10/2026

When a pet has a complex condition, the answer often lives at the intersection of multiple specialties: a cardiac issue that shows up on imaging, or a respiratory finding that connects to an internal medicine concern. Desert Veterinary Medical Specialists bring cardiology, internal medicine, and radiology together in one practice so our specialists can consult with each other directly about your pet's case. This integrated approach shortens the time it takes to reach a diagnosis and ensures every aspect of your pet's health is considered together.

📞 Call Desert Veterinary Medical Specialists today at (480) 454-4373 to speak with our team.
