As pet parents ourselves, we understand how stressful it is to have a sick pet or a pet suffering from an injury. Our pets can be subject to many of the same ailments and health issues that affect us. But unlike humans, they can’t tell us what’s wrong! Our goal is to ensure you know that your pet’s health and well-being are our top priority. We’ll do all we can to help–and do it as quickly, compassionately, and efficiently as possible.
We have an experienced medical team, advanced diagnostics, and customized treatment plans to help your pet get back to normal. Whether they are suffering from illness, injury, a chronic condition, or are just “not right,” we’re here to help.
Collaborative Care
You know your pet best, and we respect that at Wildwood Veterinary Clinic. We’ll listen to what you have to say about your pet’s health and behavior and work with you to find a solution that works for you and your furry family member. Animals are very good at instinctively hiding illness and injury. If you observe something out of the ordinary with your pet, don’t wait–call us at 503-477-4757 right away.
If you suspect your pet has eaten or been exposed to something toxic, call us at 503-477-4757. After hours, contact the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435. They’re available 24/7 and are staffed by trained veterinary toxicologists. Please note that a consultation fee may apply.
When you have concerns about your furry friend’s health, we’re here to help! We have the tools, knowledge, and experience to investigate your pet’s health issues and create a treatment plan to get them back on their paws and feeling better quickly.

Signs of a pet emergency:
- Pale gums
- Rapid breathing
- Weak or rapid pulse
- Change in body temperature
- Difficulty standing
- Apparent paralysis
- Loss of consciousness
- Seizures
- Excessive bleeding
- Hit by car or other traumatic injury
Safety Tips
- Pets who are severely ill or injured may try to bite, claw, or act aggressively toward those trying to help them. Approach any injured or sick pet slowly and calmly. Say the pet’s name and see how they react. Call for help if the pet responds aggressively.
- For a large dog who cannot move, fashion a makeshift stretcher with a blanket or tarp and ensure the neck is supported.
- For cats, slowly place a blanket or towel over their heads to prevent biting. Then, slowly lift the animal into an open-topped carrier or box.
- If possible, elevate and apply pressure to any bleeding wound.
If you think your pet has eaten or been exposed to something toxic:
Call us at 503-477-4757 immediately! Outside of our regular hours, contact the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center’s 24-hour hotline at 888-426-4435. Trained toxicologists assess your pet’s age, health, and what was ingested and then recommend what action should be taken.
