FAQs
We provide a range of veterinary healthcare services within the Penrith area.
Surgical Services:
Pet Grooming:
We offer a range of grooming and hydrobath services for both dogs and cats and rabbits. Grooming may consist of a full body clip, a hygiene clip (between paw pads and bottom area), face trims and/or baths.
Cat Boarding:
We have facilities to house your pet cat whilst you are on holidays or in times of need. The cats are housed in individual cages, with 3 levels including a hammock.
Clinical Pathology:
It involves the laboratory evaluation of blood, fluids or body tissues in order to identify existing disease.
Our animal hospital is equipped with an in-house laboratory that allows our veterinarians to perform most of the diagnostic tests to achieve an accurate & rapid diagnosis. This is especially important in very ill animals & those requiring immediate or emergency treatment. Specialised testing may take 12-24 hours for blood results or up to 14 days for biopsy results, depending on the nature of the test that's being performed.
The Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital provides affordable and efficient pet care to animals across the Penrith district.

Most of our patients are admitted into the hospital for the day to have radiographs taken unless it is an emergency and we’ll take them immediately. We ask that you bring your pet in unfed on the morning of admission, as they will most likely be sedated or anaesthetised to allow us to take the best quality radiographs possible. We will then give you a call or book an appointment for our veterinarians to show you the images and to discuss the diagnosis and treatment plan for your pet.
When we have radiographs (X-rays) taken the radiographer asks us to keep perfectly still, often in unnatural positions. Most pets would never lie still enough, in the correct position, for us to take good quality radiographs required to diagnose their condition. Sedation and anaesthesia allow us to get the most useful radiographs possible.
Taking a radiograph is very similar to taking a photo, except we use X-rays instead of light rays. The usefulness of radiography as a diagnostic tool is based upon the ability of X-rays to penetrate matter. Different tissues in the body absorb X-rays to differing degrees. Of all the tissues in the body, bone absorbs the most X-rays. This is the reason that bone appears white on a radiograph. To know more, visit https://www.orchardhillsvet.com.au/Radiology.aspx
There are no studies to support the transmission of FeLV from cats to humans, however secondary infections and diseases caused by the virus, may be passed to humans. It is therefore recommended that people with a suppressed immune system such as the elderly, pregnant women and very young children should avoid contact with infected cats.
FIV is spread from cat to cat primarily through bite wounds, the virus is shed in high levels through saliva. Outdoor cats are at a higher risk of contracting the disease. The spread of FIV through watering bowls or grooming is unlikely. An actual bite wound is an integral part of the disease transmission.
Yes, he will be the same dog just a less frustrated more balanced version. It can take several weeks for the testosterone levels to drop and the younger desexing can be done, the better.
No, he may feel slight discomfort for a day but he will be given pain relief before the surgery & you will also be given pain relief to give to him at home for a couple of days if required. The stitches will be removed 10 days after the surgery, which is generally pain-free and quick.
Unfortunately, there is no way to estimate the risk for any individual cat. All cats are at risk if they come into contact with other cats whether they are wild or domestic. However, a much higher risk is present for those cats in breeding establishments and catteries, as spread generally involves close contact.
We will talk to you about the quality of life, including normal everyday activities, the degree of pain, interest in eating, general happiness.
It is best to desex your dog as a pup, usually around 5-6 months. Desexing can be done at any age but can be more complicated and expensive, the older the dog is.
