Veterinary Hospital AES

1
In 1994 a group of veterinarians from Brisbane
established an emergency hospital at Bowen Hills
to give first aid to sick pets so they did not
have to be on call 24 hours a day. Advances in
veterinary medicine over the next decade meant
gradually more and more could be done for the
sickest pets. The practice became constrained
because its owners wanted a clinic to look after
basic first aid, while the vets and nurses
working there knew that more could be done with
better resources and training.

Veterinarians have a responsibility to provide
out of hours treatment for their patients. For a
long time this meant exhausting working hours for
vets. It was not uncommon for an individual vet
to get called out two to three times a night for
emergencies after a long day at the surgery. This
took a huge toll on their families and lead to
widespread professional burn-out.

Consultation
The veterinarian will perform a thorough physical
examination and recommend either outpatient
treatment to be followed up with your local
veterinarian, or hospitalisation with the
appropriate treatment and diagnostic tests. The
veterinarian will discuss all this with you.
Please ask any questions about the pet's
condition and treatment as it is very important
to us that you feel comfortable with our proposed
treatment.
