Residency Trained in Internal Medicine

Dr. Michael Perkel, who grew up in northern New Jersey, completed his undergraduate studies in Biology at The College of New Jersey. His passion for veterinary medicine led him to Colorado State University in Fort Collins, where he earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. Following his graduation, Dr. Perkel further honed his skills during a year-long internship at VCA Alameda East in Denver, Colorado. Seeking to specialize in Internal Medicine, he pursued a residency at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Now, Dr. Perkel is thrilled to bring his expertise to the Tri Lake Animal Hospital & Referral Centre and looks forward to exploring the Okanagan region. Joining him on this new adventure are his partner and their beloved pets: two dogs named Pika and Voda, and a cat named Midnight.

Internal Medicine

The Internal Medicine department is committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate care for you and your pet. 

Internal Medicine Specialists obtain additional training to diagnose and manage complex disease processes. Internists have extensive knowledge regarding the diagnostic evaluation and management of pets with immune-mediated disease, endocrine disorders, infectious diseases, respiratory disease, kidney/urogenital disease, liver disease, gastrointestinal disease, heart disease, bone marrow disorders, cancer, and age-related conditions.

The Internal Medicine team utilizes our on-site digital radiography, ultrasound, CT, and our in-house laboratory as well as outside reference laboratories when needed. Internal Medicine Specialists are adept at using a wide array of endoscopic procedures including rhinoscopy, bronchoscopy, cystoscopy, gastrointestinal endoscopy to evaluate specific areas and obtain samples. Internists may also employ minimally invasive diagnostic procedures such as joint fluid collection, cerebrospinal fluid tap, mass biopsies and bone marrow collection for additional information. Internists are trained to analyze this diagnostic data in relation to the clinical picture and develop a treatment plan for your pet.

Consultations with the internal medicine team can be made by referral from your family veterinarian. We look forward to participating in your pet’s care.
