Tierarztpraxis Traiskirchen

About Tierarztpraxis Traiskirchen

Tierarztpraxis Traiskirchen at Wiener Neustädter Straße 17 is a small animal practice with two teams under Dr. Thomas Stöhr and Dr. Lothar Vogelsinger. Until the end of November 2021 it was open around the clock as an animal hospital; since 1 December 2021 it has operated as a practice with a reduced emergency and night service.

What the practice offers

• Preventive care and vaccinations: a health check at the annual vaccination, with laboratory tests and imaging on request. From the eighth year of life the practice recommends a separate preventive check-up. According to the website, rabbits can be vaccinated against myxomatosis and RHD from the fifth week of life.
• Laboratory: in-house laboratory for blood tests and cytology, that is the examination of cell samples.
• Imaging: digital X-ray and ultrasound of the abdominal cavity, heart and other organs.
• Teeth: oral hygiene and ultrasonic scaling.
• Soft tissue surgery: neutering of dogs, cats and rodents, tumour operations, removal of foreign bodies from the stomach and intestines, wound care after bites or accidents.
• Bone surgery: in a dedicated operating theatre.
• Microchip and EU pet passport: chipping without sedation, with registration in the pet database on request. The practice issues pet passports for travel.
• In-house pharmacy and diet food: medicines are available to take away straight away, plus advice on dietary foods, which can also be bought on site.

Which animals

The practice treats small animals. The website lists dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents and ferrets.

Who works there

Dr. Lothar Vogelsinger is a specialist vet for small animals with a focus on internal medicine, orthopaedics and soft tissue and bone surgery; Dr. Thomas Stöhr works in general medicine, sonography and surgery. The website lists 18 employees, including seven vets, four veterinary nurses and four receptionists. The practice was founded in 1994.

Surgery hours and emergency service

Surgery hours are Monday to Friday from 8 to 11 h and from 15 to 19 h, with the two teams alternating by weekday. On Saturday from 8 to 11 h the teams take turns; on Saturday afternoons there is an emergency service after registering by telephone. Sunday from 10 to 11 h only by prior appointment. The practice asks you to make appointments by telephone via the hotline 02252 52544, available Monday to Friday from 7:15 to 19:30, Saturday from 7 to 18 h and Sunday from 9 to 12 h.

Since December 2021 the practice has reduced its emergency and night service and partly reorganised it with animal hospitals, because by its own account it could not find enough qualified staff for 24-hour operation. Whether the emergency service is currently staffed, or whom to contact, you can find out on the day on the same number.

Before public holidays, the practice publishes separate opening hours on its home page.
