Super Sophie came in for her post operative check up and brought her sister Coco with her for emotional support! What else are sisters for? πΎππΆ
From all of us at Broad Lane, we want to say a massive thank you and goodbye to . She has been an integral part of the Broad Lane family for 23 years and we have loved every minute of working with her. Kerry has been moving into the academic field for the last few years and sadly, on Saturday, we had to say our final goodbyes to her. We're sure many of you have been helped by Kerry over the years and we know she will continue to do great work helping all the future vets at Nottingham Uni. Good luck and thank you Kerry. We will miss you ππ
This sweetheart is called Alvin and he is a lovely example of a healthy Frenchie. We can see he has open nostrils, lovely bright eyes and and very cute expression! π French Bulldogs are a brachycephalic (short nosed) breed and can really struggle with their breathing and eyes, among any other things. Their popularity has led to a lot of poor breeding and subsequently very unwell dogs. It was lovely to see Alvin the other day and see that he didn't have these issues. It is so more to be very careful when getting any new pet that you properly assess them and not just become blinded by their cuteness. If in doubt, please always ask us for advice which we will be happy to give πΎ
Beautiful Barley (.and.me_ ) had been very worried about her first vaccination injection but she has been coming into the practice for socialisation visits ever since. These visits have clearly paid off because she was an ANGEL in consult on Thursday ππΎ Lickimats galore and she didnβt even feel the injection this time ππΎ Barley is training to become an assistant dog and we are so proud to help to keep her healthy on her wonderful journey. Well done Barley!
Besties Basil and Benji kept each other company the other week when they were in for castration the other week πΎππ¬
Hello! ππΌ
My name is Sim, I am around 12 weeks old and I am a female black kitten. A lovely member of the public brought me to Broad Lane Vets after finding me abandoned on the streets and I have been given the all clear to find my forever home!
Things about me:
πΊI am very playful and love toys
πΊI LOVE being fussed and enjoy being held and cuddled
πΊI am a confidently and curious kitten
πΊThe nurses say I work overtime in the biscuit factory - my paws were made for this
πΊUnsure if I can live with other cats/dogs but the nurses are happy to discuss this with you.
If you are interested in offering me my forever home, email [email protected] to request an application form. If you have any questions before you submit a request please call our reception team on 02476 464789 and ask to speak to Abbi or Alice.
Thank you, SimπΎ
*Please note all applications are assessed thoroughly by our team to make sure we find the perfect home. The successful applicant will be asked to come in for a visit before taking me home to make sure all parties involved are happy
Fern was given "Dog of the day" award when she was in recently! She was a very good girl who was nervous at the start of the day but then was a very confident girl by the end of it (even if that did mean she liked to "chat"!!!!!) ππΎπ

*FOUND*
We have had a green parakeet found near the Stivichall area in Coventry.
If you think this is your pet then please contact us ASAP on 02476464789 and ask to speak to Abbi or Alice. Proof of ownership will be required. Alternatively you may email us on [email protected]. Thank you.
Maple was quite worried with us when she came in for her operation but after her spay, she really settled down and just wanted cuddles and belly rubs...... no better way to recover! What a lovely, brave girl π
Penny has had a problem with her eye for the last while and was in our Radford Road site to see vet Maria the other day. Thankfully she is doing well and is Maria loved the cuddles ππΎ
Eye ulcers can happen in any animal but are more common in Brachycephalic (short nosed) breeds. This is because their protruding eyes are drier and therefore more prone to injury among other issues. It is really important to have any eye issue checked by a vet asap top assess the severity and decide a treatment plan.
"Um, excuse me please, but have you ever seen anyone as sweet as me before?!"
Nurse Abbi loved meeting Bagel here and gave her the title of the best behaved cockapoo puppy she's ever met. Well done Bagel and keep up the good work! πΎπ
*FOUND*
We have had a very young (approx. 10 weeks old) black female cat brought down to the Radford Road Surgery. She was found down an alley way near Sandy Lane, Radford. She has been transported to our Broad Lane Branch.
If you think this is your pet then please contact us ASAP on 02476464789 and ask to speak to Abbi or Alice. Proof of ownership will be required. Alternatively you may email us on [email protected]. Thank you.
*CUTENESS OVERLOAD WARNING!!*
Meet Diego and his amazing frog harness πΈ which we think is probably going to be he cutest thing you'll see all day!!πΎππΎππΎπ If you think your little one can top this then we'd love to see the photos!
Anyone got time for a cute puppy?!!! Delightful Daisy was in visiting vet Maria recently and yes her teddy might possibly be bigger than her! π€£ππΎπ»
*REUNITED*
We have had an adult black and white male cat brought down to the Broad Lane Surgery. He was found injured on the A452 between Balsall Common and Meriden. He is not neutered and unfortunately not microchipped. He is currently receiving urgent veterinary treatment.

Renee might have come in for her spay surgery but she was very happy to have some additional pampering in the form of a pedicure and cuddles from the wonderful nursing team πββοΈππΎ
Archie the gorgeous black labrador won "Dog of the day" when he was in for his castration operation last week. Here he is having a nice time with nurse, Alice ππΎ
"Is there something on my neck?!"
Boe was looking pretty in her comfy collar last week when she was in for a wound check. Not only is this comfy collar stylish π€£ but it is also really practical to prevent any self trauma/ licking of wounds which would otherwise delay or slow wound healing πΎ
Talk about travelling in style!!! πΎππ€£π
We had a first last week at Broad Lane - Butler was chauffeured safely to his vaccination appointment on the back of a motorcycle!!!! He seemed to love his seat and we hear that his owner is looking into getting him a doggy helmet......... we can't wait to see those photos π€£ππΎ
"Am I cute or what?!" ππΎπ
What better way to start a Thursday morning than by saying hi to picture perfect Paddy who was in last week with our vet Maria?
Could Cooper possibly be the most relaxed puppy we've ever met? He came in for a health check with vet Kat but then slept through the whole event! π€£π΄ππΎ
Cuddles anyone?! ππΎ Lovely little Gibbs melted hearts the other day at Broad Lane Anne we just couldn't resist sharing his cuteness.

This cheeky pair of brothers didn't know which way to look when they visited our vet Nadine the other day for health checks. Both boys were very healthy and now all that's left to do is to pick them out some suitable names! Any suggestions?! πΎππ€£
Bruno is normally a worrier who runs straight back into his carrier whenever his exam is finished but he was very happy to stay out and relax at the last visit. Kat had implanted his microchip but all was quickly forgiven with a bowl of chicken!
Did you know that all cats in the UK must now be microchipped. Not only is it a legal requirement of owning a cat (and a dog) but it is a very sensible safety step. Cats are notorious for wandering and for getting themselves lost but when they are microchipped it is a very simple to get them reunited with their family. Collars fall off very easily so without a microchip it can be very difficult to get a furry friend back home πΎ
Can't believe is almost a wrap! We've loved every moment of sharing and learning with everyone. π°
But hold up, we're not done yet! Their final topic is all about companionshipβ Did you know that in the wild rabbits like to live in groups that are often referred to as a colony or a fluffle!
Pet rabbits should always have companionship in the form of a bonded partner or suitable small group. Bonding two rabbits can be a delicate matter so always ensure you ask for advice from your local rabbit rescue or from your vet! The most important thing is that they are all neutered (even sibling rabbits will mate!), it also can help to decrease some negative behaviours β a neutered bunny is much easier to litter train!
Having a bonded friend is the most valuable enrichment for your bunny, they will often cuddle up to keep warm in the winter and will also provide each other a playmate and grooming aid! Ensure your two bunnies (or group) have enough space to ensure they can choose to have time apart if necessary, this will make them less likely to βargueβ!
Please look out for our final Rabbit awareness week post tomorrow, featuring Nigel and Cleo, two lovely bunnies that will be giving youβre an insight into rabbit care at Broad Lane vets!
Happy Day Four of Rabbit Awareness Week 2024! π°
Today, weyβre diving into how you can create a thriving environment for your fluffy friends!
Pet rabbits can live both indoors and outside! You can make either suitable for your bunny if you meet the right requirements for them to be healthy and have an enriching environment!
The minimum space requirement for two bonded rabbits is 3m x 2m x 1m high. This applies to rabbits who live outdoors and indoors! The more space the better for rabbits, to keep rabbits happy it is best to emulate as much of their natural environment as possible e.g. opportunity for foraging or access to tunnels!
For more tips on how to create better environments for your rabbits visit the RAAG website or call Broad Lane vets to request advice from our staff! Please feel free to ask for tips if youβre bunny is in for a routine check-up with your vets.

Yesterday we had a lunch party to celebrate the wonderful Lisa Madden who has worked at Broad Lane Vets for a fantastic 40 years! ππ Many of you will know Lisa - she started as a student nurse with Roy Hands, then as her role diversified she multitasked as nurse, receptionist, and clinical coach all at the same time, right through until now where she is Practice Manager of what has become a much larger team. It was lovely to host Roy, Roger and Hazel Hands and Richard and Marianne Webb as well as current staff members to celebrate with us, sharing fond memories over food and acknowledging the achievements Lisa has made over the years. It is such a great pleasure to be part of a team with such a fantastic history and dedication to the practice and local community, with many team members approaching various length of service anniversaries. Here's to the next 40 years Lisa π€£ππ #40thbirthday #anniversary #amazing #broadlanevets #thankyou #coventry #celebration #workfamily

If you have just brought a puppy into your family Broad Lane Vets and Sound Hounds Puppy School have put together a series of short videos to help you with the basics. You would usually pick these up during visits to the practice, our puppy parties and attending puppy training classes. If you need more advice, although we cannot see you face to face, we will do our best to help you by telephone. Today is day 3 and we learn recall, under the direction of Nicky, from Sound Hounds.
