Andrea Oncken
Emergency Care for Pets
What should you do to help an
animal who is injured, or has eaten
something toxic?


Andrea Oncken, DVM, DACVECC

Portland, Oregon


Andrea Oncken is the medical director at Dove Lewis Emergency Animal Hospital in Portland, Oregon. She received her veterinary degree from Washington State University in 1996 and did a rotating internship in small animal surgery and medicine in Denver, Colorado, the following year. She finished a three-year residency at the Animal Emergency Center in 2001 and is board-certified in emergency and critical care medicine. She has been with Dove Lewis since August 2001.


Her special interests include emergency surgery, pain management, effects of hypothermia, and critical care nutrition. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking, camping, boating, traveling, martial arts, and ballroom dancing. She currently has two dogs and two cats, but the number keeps growing!
