Comprehensive Veterinary Consultations For Your Beloved Pets

During every consultation, our experienced veterinarians conduct a comprehensive head-to-tail physical examination of your pet. This thorough assessment covers various aspects of your pet’s health, including:

Eyes, Ears, and Mouth

We carefully evaluate the condition of your pet’s eyes, ears, and oral health.

Skin and Fur

The health of your pet's skin and coat is a reflection of their overall well-being.

Chest and Abdomen

We check for any irregularities in the chest and abdominal regions.

Musculoskeletal System

The mobility and strength of your pet's musculoskeletal system are examined.

Behavioural Assessment

We pay close attention to your pet's demeanour and behaviour, as sometimes subtle changes can indicate underlying issues.

Early Detection Saves Lives

One of the key benefits of regular general veterinary consultations is the early detection and diagnosis of illnesses or injuries, even when there are no apparent signs. Early intervention can make a significant difference in your pet's prognosis. Our treatment options may include medical advice, medications, diagnostic tests, and, in some cases, hospitalisation or surgical intervention for critically ill patients.

Breed-Specific Care And Age-Related Conditions

Certain breeds are predisposed to specific health conditions. Our veterinarians are trained to identify and address breed-specific concerns. For older pets, we focus on identifying early signs of age-related conditions, such as arthritis or organ dysfunction. Early detection allows us to develop effective management plans.

Advanced Diagnostics And Transparent Communication

If a general examination yields inconclusive results, our in-house laboratory and medical imaging facilities come into play. We utilise these resources to diagnose complex conditions and provide accurate assessments of your pet’s health. Throughout the process, we maintain open communication with you, ensuring you’re informed about your pet’s condition and treatment options.

Recommended Consultation Schedule

We understand that pets age faster than humans, which is why we recommend the following consultation schedules:

Annual Health Consultations:

Ideal for dogs and cats aged one to seven years.

Bi-annual Health Examinations:

Recommended for older pets to address age-related conditions.

Frequent Consultations for Puppies and Kittens:

Young pets require more frequent consultations, aligned with their vaccination schedule.

Your Pet’s Best Life Awaits

Regular general health examinations are not only essential for your pet’s well-being but also provide peace of mind for you. Knowing that your furry friend is strong and healthy is priceless.

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.
