👁️ BVA Eye Testing Clinic 👁️
SUNDAY 2nd NOVEMBER 2025, from 10am.

Broadleys Veterinary Hospital is pleased to announce that we will be providing the BVA Eye Testing Clinic for a seventh year. 🏥

The BVA Canine Health Scheme, International Sheepdog Society and the Kennel Club operate an eye screening program that helps to identify evidence of hereditary, and non-hereditary eye disease in certain dog breeds. The results can be used to make decisions about breeding with your dog. 🐾

Ben Blacklock - BVSc (Hons), DipECVO MRCVS EBVS is an RCVS and EBVS recognised specialist in veterinary opthalmology. Ben is a senior lecturer, and head of veterinary opthalmology at the Royal Dick School of Veterinary Studies, University of Edinburgh. 👨‍⚕️

Ben will be running an eye testing clinic with one of our senior nurses, Ruth, on Sunday 2nd November 2025, from 10am. 🕙

The cost for the eye clinic is is £65* for one dog and then £60 each for any additional dogs you may have.

If this clinic is something you would be interested in attending with your dog(s), please contact the reception team on 01786 445665 to secure your place. ☎️

Ben is also happy to perform Gonioscopy / Glaucoma testing, which may be relevant to your breed of dog. These spaces are very limited, so please let our reception team know when booking if you would also like this test.
The cost for this test is £65. If you would like both tests done the cost would be £60 on top of the routine test.

*Due to this Specialist clinic taking place on a Sunday, outwith our regular practice hours, we would ask that payment is made in cash.

Last week we had a special visitor — Fraggle, a guide dog in training! 💛

He came in to see Megan for his vaccinations (and, of course, a bit of extra love and attention).
These incredible dogs work so hard to change lives, and it’s always such a joy to be part of their journey.

Good luck with your training, Fraggle — you’re doing amazing! 🦮✨

🐹💛 This week is Guinea Pig Awareness Week (20-24th October)! 💛🐹

Guinea pigs might be little, but they have big needs when it comes to their health and happiness. Here are a few tips from our team to help keep your piggies thriving:

🌿 Feed them right: Fresh hay every day, vitamin C-rich veggies (like peppers and kale!), and plenty of clean water.

🏠 Room to roam: Guinea pigs need space to explore, tunnels to hide in, and friends to chat with — they’re social creatures!

🦷 Regular check-ups: Their teeth, nails, and skin need monitoring, so regular vet visits are key to catching issues early.

💚 Gentle care: Keep them comfortable with calm handling and a clean, cozy home.

This week is the perfect time to give your guinea pigs some extra love — and maybe book them a little health check-up too!

📅 Call us on 📞 01786 445665 or send us a message to book a Guinea Pig Health Check this week.

Let’s spread the word and make sure every piggie gets the care they deserve! 💕

✨FOUND CAT- Cambusbarron ✨

We have had a cat kindly handed in by a member of the public. The cat has been straying for around 5-6 months but has been taken in by someone who was hoping to find their owner. Unfortunately, no owner has been found so far.

The cat was found straying in gardens around The Brae Co-op.

The cat is a young female, with white and black colouring. She has hazel coloured eyes. She is very friendly with people so must belong to someone.

The cat is not microchipped.

As mentioned above this cat may have been missing for months and has been in someone else’s care. So please share far and wide to see if we can reunite her with her owners!

If you think this is your cat please call Broadleys Veterinary Hospital on 01786 445665.
