BVSc (Melb), Veterinarian
Paul Sydenham is a male Veterinarian.
Since he was young, Paul was always interested in science and loved animals, so it only seemed fitting to pursue a career in veterinary science. Over the years, he have had two dogs, five cats and two birds, at different times, of course! When he was given the opportunity to move to Melbourne from Adelaide to study to become a Vet, I took that opportunity up in a snap!
Since graduating in Melbourne over a decade ago, Paul spent his first vet years in Adelaide. He then moved to the UK and, like many, found himself there five years later. He worked at a range of clinics, while also being able to travel throughout Europe. After returning to Melbourne, Paul worked in small animal private practice and in a high volume shelter vet clinic for many years. In April 2018, he joined the team here at Pascoe Vale Vet Hospital.
Paul's goal with every patient is to achieve both a short and long term positive outcome. By this he mean, make your loved one comfortable and happy straight away, whilst also managing any long term issues. He is also passionate about preventative medicine and its importance to maximise the health of all his patients.
In his veterinary career, Paul has strong interests in both medicine and surgery, as well as clinical pathology. He enjoys managing animals with long term skin issues, arthritis management and older patients.
