Templestowe based Veterinary Surgery and Animal Hospital
For over 30 years, Vets on Parker has supported pets and their families in the Templestowe, Lower Templestowe and Bulleen areas with quality care facilities. Having an animal hospital and recovery area onsite where we can perform routine procedures enables us to provide our clients and their owners with access to the highest quality veterinary care. It also means pets can be cared for close to home and by familiar people, taking much of the stress out of undergoing a surgical procedure.
Key features of our onsite veterinary surgery
- Highly experienced staff of veterinary surgeons and nurses
- Fully equipped surgery and recovery facilities
- Onsite pathology lab and imaging technology
- Optional pre-anaesthetic blood testing
Surgical Procedures Performed at our Animal Hospital
Our Templestowe veterinary surgery is equipped for a range of routine surgeries including:
De-sexing surgery is the most common soft tissue procedure performed onsite at our animal hospital. Vets on Parker recommends de-sexing male and female cats and dogs at around 5-6 months of age to prevent health complications later in life as well as unwanted litters.
In addition to de-sexing, Vets on Parker offers a range of other standard soft tissue surgeries designed to treat a range of common pet health concerns ranging from anal gland removal through to skin biopsies and the removal of skin cancers.
Vets on Parker offer a wide range of common orthopedic repair surgeries to treat musculosketal related injuries and health conditions. We enlist the services of Specialist Orthopedic Surgeons for procedures our Veterinary team cannot perform, so your pet can still have access to the services they need in a familiar environment.
Most pets will undergo some type of surgical procedure at some point during their lives. Nonetheless, surgery does come with some risks. To mitigate some of the common problems related to administering ananaesthetic, Vets on Parker recommend Pre-Anaesthetic blood testing. This simple blood test is performed in clinic, and allow us to check the function of your pet’s vital organs. In some cases, these blood tests reveal underlying conditions which necessitate a modified dose of anaesthetic.
