About Kleintierpraxis Mag. Kerstin Weilharter-Deimel

Mag. Kerstin Weilharter-Deimel has run a small animal practice on Josef-Bartmann-Straße in Weigelsdorf near Ebreichsdorf since 2006. Surgery hours are on three evenings a week, and the practice has X-ray, ultrasound, its own laboratory and an operating room for soft tissue surgery.

What the practice offers

• Vaccinations: for dogs against parvovirus, distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis and rabies, plus kennel cough as well as Lyme disease and babesiosis, which are transmitted by ticks. Cats are vaccinated against cat flu, feline panleukopenia, leukosis, rabies and FIP.
• Microchip and EU pet passport: since 2008, chipping and registration have been compulsory for dogs in Austria. The vet takes care of the registration and issues the EU passport for travel.
• Worming, preventive care and senior check: the senior check includes a clinical and orthopaedic examination, blood and urine values and a weight check. According to the website, dogs count as seniors from nine years of age, giant breeds from seven, and cats from ten.
• X-ray and ultrasound: X-rays for example for fractures or to count puppies in the womb, ultrasound for the abdomen. For a cardiac ultrasound she refers patients to a heart specialist.
• Laboratory and microscopy: liver, kidney and blood sugar values in the in-house laboratory, rapid tests for viral diseases with results after 10 to 15 minutes, urine tests. Under the microscope she looks for mites, worm eggs and blood parasites and assesses vaginal smears to determine the right time for mating.
• Surgery: castrations and tumour removals under inhalation anaesthesia, i.e. with anaesthetic gas, monitored with a pulse oximeter and ECG. The practice refers orthopaedic operations to veterinary clinics.
• Dental treatment: ultrasonic tartar removal under anaesthesia and trimming overlong teeth in rabbits and guinea pigs.
• In-house pharmacy: medicines, care products and shampoos for skin patients as well as diet food.
• Home visits: for older people or animals that cannot be transported, only outside surgery hours and by telephone arrangement.
