Dr Kathy and Dr Ash are absolutely fantastic. The nurses are also just amazing. We trust them with all our dogs and rabbits. The whole team genuinely cares about the animals and go above and beyond.

Very friendly staff

We had to take out cat Venus in because her mouth was very sore and she couldnt be touched and was refusing to eat and the staff were very friendly and Dr Ash done the required tests and our cat had to have a full teeth extraction. Will continue to see them there about any issues there are in the future. Couldn't recommend them enough!

Nothing short of amazing

Dr Ash and the team have been nothing short of amazing with our beloved pets. Dr Ash carried out surgery on our 7year old Rottweiler and the love and care she received was amazing. We also recently had our new kitten desexed and microchipped and again the service was fantastic.

A second chance at life

A big thank you to Dr. Ash and the team for helping me give this little guy a second chance at life. As someone who didn’t grow up around pets, I had no idea what to do when this little one showed up on my back porch in such a poor state. I highly recommend Family Vets Western Sydney to any pet owners looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and caring team!

Expert Ophthalmic Care for Your Beloved Pet

Eye examinations require specific equipment, such as an ophthalmoscope (a magnifying light to look into the eye). Our veterinarians can also use a special dye called fluorescein which fluoresces a green/yellow colour under UV light to identify any damage to the cornea (the clear layer at the front of the eye). We may also use a tonometer to check the pressure inside your pet’s eye which is raised with a condition called glaucoma.

Many eye conditions can be treated medically, however, specific conditions may require surgery.

Our practice is fully equipped to offer the following eye surgeries:

  • Enucleation (removal) of the eye for severe glaucoma or cancer cases
  • Entropion surgery to prevent eye damage from inward pointing eye lashes/eyelids
  • Ectropion surgery to correct outward facing lower eyelids
  • Eyelid tumour removal
  • Cherry eye surgery to correct a protruding third eyelid in dogs
  • Surgery to repair corneal ulcers (ulcers on the eye surface)
