Important Service Update

Effective July 1, 2026, Internal Medicine services at Auburn Veterinary Specialists – Gulf Shores will be temporarily discontinued while we work to restaff the department. We are grateful to Dr. Andrew McGraw for his commitment to our clients and wish him well as he relocates to be closer to family.

We are grateful for the trust our referring veterinarians and clients place in our team, and we appreciate your patience during this transition.

During this transition period: • Internal Medicine cases can be referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Auburn, Alabama. • Established Internal Medicine patients from our Gulf Shores campus may continue scheduling follow-up appointments as needed through the Auburn University campus location by calling 334-844-4690 or visiting vetmed.auburn.edu.

Our team is actively working to restore this service as quickly as possible, and we look forward to caring for your pets again soon.

Thank you for your continued support.

Many older dogs develop a variety of tumors. Bama (yes, we treat dogs with that name all the time) was referred to our surgery service for a suspected splenic mass. Following pre-operative diagnostic tests, Bama underwent a splenectomy (spleen removal) for a mass weighing over nine pounds (4.33 kgs). Fortunately, histopathology diagnosed a splenic hematoma, which is a common benign (non-cancerous) tumor. Bama is recovering well. Surgical removal is curative and Bama’s prognosis is excellent. Additional information about splenic masses may be found on the American College of Veterinary Surgeons website at https://www.acvs.org/small-animal/splenic-masses/
