Pet Grooming
Pet Grooming at Rosebery Hospital
At Rosebery Vet Hospital, we believe that every pet deserves to look and feel their best. While our furry companions are naturally skilled at self-grooming, they often need a helping hand to achieve optimum results. As pet parents, a part of our role is to help them maintain their skin and fur health. Regular brushing will prevent knots and excessive shedding. Checking their skin while brushing will reveal any abnormalities, sores, scratches or parasites.
We understand that grooming your pet can be time-consuming and sometimes challenging, especially for long-haired animals, small pets, and breeds that require special grooming techniques to maintain their appearance. That’s why we offer professional in-house grooming services.

Some common reasons pets might visit us for an emergency
If you’re unsure
If you’re unsure whether your pet needs immediate attention, don’t hesitate to call us on 02 9140 0177.
Vomiting and Diarrhoea
Nothing prompts a quick visit to the veterinary hospital like seeing your pet suffering from extended vomiting and diarrhoea. This distressing situation can arise from various causes, including dietary indiscretion, consumption of fatty or inappropriate foods, and infections.
Toxin Ingestions
Pets are naturally curious and sometimes get into harmful substances. Common toxins include grapes, chocolate, xylitol (Chewing Gum), certain plants (like lilies for Cats), human medications, rodenticides, foreign body and even an overdose of their own medication. If you suspect your pet has ingested something toxic or foreign, seek veterinary advice immediately.
Lacerations and Bite Wounds
Playful activities can sometimes lead to injuries. This is especially true in settings like dog parks or when multiple cats interact. Our veterinarians frequently address wounds and abscesses, providing necessary treatment to ensure your pet heals properly.
Motor Vehicle injury
Road accidents involving pets are sadly all too common. While some pets may only suffer minor injuries, others may face severe trauma. To prevent such accidents, always keep dogs on a lead or within a fenced area, ensure older or less agile dogs are safe, and keep cats indoors.
Urinary Tract Obstructions
Male cats are particularly susceptible to urinary tract obstructions due to the narrowness of their urinary passage. Conditions like urinary crystals or bladder stones can exacerbate the problem. If your cat shows signs of straining to urinate, frequent urination, vocalising, or excessive grooming, seek immediate veterinary care.
Difficulty Breathing
Respiratory distress in pets can be alarming and is a common reason for emergency visits. Difficulty breathing can signal serious conditions such as heart failure, pneumonia, feline asthma, or anatomical issues. Our team can provide oxygen support and appropriate treatment for these conditions.
Gastrointestinal Foreign Material
Pets can consume foreign objects that can become lodged in their digestive tract, causing vomiting and lethargy and requiring surgical removal. Commonly ingested items include toys, clothing, and bones in dogs, and strings or hair ties in cats. If your pet has ingested something they shouldn't have, consult us for guidance.
Worsening of Underlying Illness
Pets with chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, or cancer may experience acute worsening of their health, necessitating emergency treatment or critical care.
Painful, Red Eye
Eye issues in pets can range from injuries and infections to more serious conditions like glaucoma. A red and painful eye requires prompt veterinary evaluation to prevent rapid deterioration and ensure appropriate treatment.
Lameness and Difficulty Walking
Lameness in pets can stem from various issues, including muscle sprains, ligament tears, fractures, or even cancer. Our emergency veterinarians can assess your pet's condition, provide pain relief, and recommend diagnostic tests like radiographs to determine the cause.
At Rosebery Veterinary Hospital, we hope your pet never faces such emergencies. However, if they do - we are open 7 days a week and ready to provide the care your pet needs.
