Frequently Asked Questions

Dr. Larson is a board‑certified veterinary internal medicine specialist, so she focuses on pets with complex or unresolved medical concerns. This often includes issues like chronic gastrointestinal disease, unexplained weight loss, thyroid or adrenal disorders (such as hyperthyroidism or Cushing’s disease), and other long‑term or difficult‑to‑diagnose conditions.

Her role is to help you understand what may be going on and what questions to discuss with your primary veterinarian.

These sessions offer expert guidance on internal medicine conditions and diagnostic procedure recommendations, but they do not replace in-person veterinary care and do not include prescriptions. Your family veterinarian remains in charge.

Tele‑advice is a remote consultation where Dr. Larson reviews your pet’s history, symptoms, and available test results to help you understand what may be happening and what questions to ask your veterinarian. It is not a diagnosis or treatment plan.

Absolutely. Many veterinarians use tele‑advice to clarify next steps, determine whether referral is needed, or manage cases in‑house with more confidence.

Training is tailored to your hospital’s needs and may include ultrasound basics and POCUS, introductory endoscopy, glucose monitor placement, feeding tube placement and care, FMT via enema, proctoscopy, nasal biopsy, endotracheal wash techniques, and more. If it falls within internal medicine scope, Dr. Larson can build it into your session.

Most sessions use your clinic’s existing equipment. If an affordable add‑on would meaningfully expand your capabilities, Dr. Larson will advise you during the pre‑visit planning process.

Both. You can schedule half‑day or full‑day sessions for individuals or small groups, depending on your goals and staffing.

Training includes step‑wise demonstrations, hands‑on practice, real‑time feedback, and case‑based discussion. The goal is to build confidence, standardize technique, and ensure your team can apply their new skills immediately and with confidence.
