Washington State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital - 24hr Emergency

Our clinical pathology team performs comprehensive in-house bloodwork, including complete blood counts (CBCs) and chemistry panels, to diagnose infections, organ dysfunction, and metabolic disorders promptly.

We conduct thorough urinalyses to detect urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, and other metabolic conditions. Our lab provides rapid results to support timely treatment decisions.

Our diagnostic services include fecal testing for parasites (e.g., intestinal worms) and infectious agents like Giardia or Salmonella. We offer both in-house and specialized send-out testing as needed.

Our diagnostic imaging department provides advanced digital radiography to diagnose fractures, foreign bodies, and internal abnormalities with high precision. We integrate imaging with other diagnostics for comprehensive care.

We offer ultrasound imaging for abdominal, cardiac, and musculoskeletal evaluations. Our board-certified radiologists use this technology to guide biopsies, monitor pregnancies, and diagnose organ diseases.

We offer routine and complex spay/neuter surgeries as part of our general surgical services. Our team prioritizes safety and minimal invasiveness to ensure optimal recovery for pets.

We provide emergency and elective surgical removal of foreign bodies from the gastrointestinal, respiratory, or urinary tracts using advanced diagnostic imaging and minimally invasive techniques when possible.

Our team offers expert wound management and repair, including complex lacerations, grafting, and reconstructive surgeries. We use state-of-the-art techniques to promote healing and minimize scarring.

We perform surgical or minimally invasive procedures (e.g., cystoscopy) to remove bladder stones in pets suffering from urinary obstruction or infection. Our urologic surgeons ensure comprehensive post-operative care.

We provide immediate emergency stabilization for pets experiencing trauma, toxicities, or acute critical illnesses. Our board-certified team is equipped with advanced monitoring and life-saving interventions to address urgent medical needs around the clock.

We offer continuous hospitalization and intensive care for pets requiring round-the-clock observation, including those in critical condition or recovering from surgery. Our team ensures personalized monitoring to optimize recovery outcomes.

We provide respiratory support through oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, and other advanced techniques for pets suffering from acute respiratory distress or cardiopulmonary compromise.

Our emergency and critical care services include IV fluid therapy to correct electrolyte imbalances, acid-base disorders, and dehydration in critically ill patients. We tailor treatment plans based on each pet’s specific needs.

We offer comprehensive pain management strategies for pets experiencing acute or chronic discomfort, including post-surgical care, trauma recovery, and critical illness. Our team uses advanced techniques to ensure comfort and quality of life.

We specialize in the treatment of toxicities, including exposure to common household toxins, marijuana, rodent poison (e.g., cholecalciferol), blue-green algae, and other harmful substances. Our team provides emergency decontamination and supportive care.

We provide cutting-edge CT and MRI scans for detailed imaging of soft tissues, bones, and internal organs. These advanced modalities enable precise diagnoses for complex cases, including neurologic and oncologic conditions.

Our rehabilitation team offers physical therapy, including passive range of motion exercises, hydrotherapy (underwater treadmill), and massage to support recovery from orthopedic surgeries or injuries. We customize plans for each pet’s condition.

We provide hydrotherapy using underwater treadmills to improve mobility, reduce joint stress, and accelerate recovery in pets with orthopedic conditions or post-surgical rehabilitation needs.

Our certified therapists offer massage therapy to alleviate muscle tension, improve circulation, and enhance recovery for pets undergoing rehabilitation or managing chronic pain.
