Our clinic is open Monday through Thursday from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm and Friday from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. Walk-ins are considered on a case-by-case basis. Please call ahead at (360) 856-6890 so our team can prepare for your arrival. For critical situations outside our clinic hours, please contact a 24-hour veterinary facility.

Trauma and Accident Care

Trauma from vehicle accidents, falls, or attacks can cause internal and external injuries that require immediate veterinary attention. At Sedro-Woolley Veterinary Clinic, our team assesses traumatic injuries with a full physical exam, stabilizes your pet, and determines whether imaging and surgical intervention are needed. Please call ahead on your way to the clinic so our team can be ready. If trauma occurs outside our hours, seek a 24-hour veterinary facility promptly.

Breathing Difficulty in Dogs and Cats

Labored breathing, open-mouth breathing in cats, prolonged coughing, and visible distress during respiration are all signs that require same-day veterinary attention. Breathing difficulty can indicate conditions ranging from respiratory infections and fluid accumulation to heart involvement and foreign body obstruction. At Sedro-Woolley Veterinary Clinic, our team assesses the airway and vital signs immediately. Call (360) 856-6890 as soon as you notice breathing changes in your pet.

Seizures or Collapse

Seizures and sudden collapse require prompt veterinary evaluation. Both can have multiple underlying causes including neurological conditions, toxic ingestion, blood sugar irregularities, and cardiovascular events. At Sedro-Woolley Veterinary Clinic, our team performs a thorough neurological and physical assessment following a seizure or collapse event. If your pet is currently seizing, keep them safe from objects, do not restrain them, and call us immediately at (360) 856-6890 for guidance.

Allergic Reactions and Urinary Blockage

Severe allergic reactions, including facial swelling, hives, vomiting shortly after exposure to a known allergen, or sudden collapse, require same-day care. Urinary blockage, particularly in male cats, is a life-threatening condition. Signs include straining to urinate, crying during urination, or producing no urine at all. Both conditions are time-sensitive. Call (360) 856-6890 immediately if you observe either of these signs in your pet.

Pyometra

Pyometra is a serious uterine infection affecting intact female dogs and cats. Signs include increased thirst and urination, lethargy, loss of appetite, and abdominal distension. Closed pyometra, where no discharge is visible, is especially dangerous. At Sedro-Woolley Veterinary Clinic, our team can evaluate and stabilize pets presenting with suspected pyometra and arrange surgical care. Contact our clinic at (360) 856-6890 promptly if your intact female pet is showing any of these signs.

Heatstroke and Foreign Body Removal

Heatstroke in dogs and cats can occur rapidly in warm vehicles or outdoor environments. Signs include excessive panting, drooling, and collapse. Cool the pet gently with room-temperature water and seek veterinary care immediately. Foreign body ingestion, including objects, bones, and toxic plants, may cause vomiting, gagging, abdominal pain, or obstruction. Our team can assess and manage both conditions. Call (360) 856-6890 before arriving so our team can prepare.

Lacerations, Wound Care, and Limping

Deep lacerations, puncture wounds, and bite wounds require veterinary attention for proper cleaning and closure. Untreated wounds carry a significant risk of infection and delayed healing. Sudden or severe limping in dogs and cats may indicate fracture, soft tissue injury, joint involvement, or a foreign body in the paw. At Sedro-Woolley Veterinary Clinic, our team evaluates wounds and limping injuries with a physical exam and imaging when needed. Call ahead to confirm availability before bringing your pet in.

Parvovirus Care and Orthopedic Wound Repair

Parvovirus is a serious, highly contagious illness most commonly affecting unvaccinated puppies. Signs include severe vomiting, bloody diarrhea, lethargy, and rapid dehydration. Prompt supportive care significantly improves outcomes. Our team can evaluate and stabilize parvovirus cases and advise on isolation protocols. Orthopedic wound repair, including lacerations involving joint capsules or tendon structures, requires careful assessment and closure. Contact us at (360) 856-6890 to discuss your pet’s condition before arrival.
