Sometimes symptomatic care isn’t enough and patient’s need to be hospitalized to give them the best chance at recovery. We are staffed 24/7 with experienced emergency doctors on-site. The ICU is supported by a critical care specialist to provide the evidence-based intensive care your companion deserves.

We are capable of performing a variety of life saving soft tissue surgeries including laceration/bite wound repairs, enucleations, foreign body surgeries including intestinal resection and anastomosis, Gastric dilatation and volvulus (GDVs), splenectomies, liver lobectomies, cystotomies, etc.

We are equipped to remove foreign bodies via endoscopy 24 hours a day and can obtain GI biopsies on appropriate cases to achieve a more definitive diagnosis.

Whether it’s increased destruction of red blood cells from an autoimmune disease or blood loss from a ruptured abdominal mass we have blood products including packed red blood cells and plasma on hand to stabilize your companion.

We can provide supplemental oxygen via state of the art chambers, high flow nasal cannulas, ventilation, nasal line, hood, etc., to help patients breathe more comfortably giving their lungs time to recover.

We have a brand-new state of the art x-ray machine and ultrasound on-site to rapidly diagnose a variety of medical conditions providing a more focused and streamlined treatment plan for your companion.

We have a complete in-house laboratory setup so blood results can be obtained 24/7 if beneficial.

Extracorporeal therapy (ECT) is defined by blood being processed outside the patient’s body. Our staff has been performing ECT (dialysis, total plasma exchange, and hemoperfusion) for several years and has performed hundreds of treatments. Brief explanations of each ECT are below. If you have questions regarding if you have an eligible case please contact us at (253) 434-5010.

Can expand the window of recovery in those with acute kidney injury most commonly and in some with acute on chronic kidney injury. Dialysis takes over the job of the kidneys while giving them a chance to recover.

Total Plasma Exchange (TPE or apheresis) is especially beneficial for dogs with severe autoimmune diseases, such as immune hemolytic anemia (IMHA)—the most common indication—and immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (ITP). TPE works by physically removing antibodies that drive the disease process. It can also be used to eliminate specific toxins.

Sometimes dogs and cats ingest things they shouldn’t and some of those medications can cause catastrophic injury. With newly designed filters specifically for veterinary use, we can remove a range of toxins directly from the blood. Common substances we can effectively eliminate include ibuprofen, carprofen (Rimadyl), acetaminophen (Tylenol), ethylene glycol, baclofen, etc.
