When we came in this morning we had a new team member awaiting us…
On closer inspection of our CCTV we found out Mr Elf had made a very impressive entrance to hide in our tree till today!!😆
As we welcome Mr Elf for the Christmas period… we do wonder whether or not it’s safe for him to stay alone over night in the practice🙈
Stay tuned for what Mr Elf gets up to as we countdown for Christmas 🎄🎅🏻

✨Bobbie✨
Bobbie came to visit Vet Katie recently for his second vaccinations💉.
Bobbie is the sweetest little girl and her tail never ever stops wagging!
We offer the Puppy Pack for a reduced cost when the puppy has started there vaccination course elsewhere, but the good thing is you still get all the benefits of the pack!
Including the box full of information books and leaflets, a lead, the vaccinations, a kennel cough or microchip, 1 months flea and worm treatment too, initial health check by a vet along with 4 weeks free insurance and so much more! 🧰🐾
It is so lovely to see clients come back to us with there new family members and we love to watch them grow up and become part of the family🤍
Hey there Travis👋
Travis is 3 months old now and has recently come in for a weight check, so our vet Kristy was able to authorise the prescription of further parasite treatment🐾
It is important to continue to weigh puppies up until they stabilise with their weight for their monthly flea and worm treatment.✨
We offer a free of charge nurse appointment to do this provided they have seen a vet for authorisation of the product.
Little travis had gained 1.63kg since his visit a month earlier! 🐶
Which also meant he had moved into the next bracket up for his parasite treatment.
See you in 4 weeks Travis 🤍
🐰Fluffy🐰
We recently had Fluffy in for her neutering procedure, come along to see the day and some interesting facts about rabbit neutering !🤍
Minnie and Cooper recently came to see Vet Georgie for a ‘new pet check’🐾
This consists of a full examination of both puppies, checking the heart, ears, eyes, teeth👩🏻⚕️
General health check, assessing the skin, lymph nodes, abdominal palpation, assessment of there joints. Along with also checking there microchip and confirming their vaccination status! 💉
In this appointment Georgie also discussed a multitude of other areas to include but not limited to -
- socialisation
- onset of immunity for vaccines
- training
- neutering
- diets
- socialisation
- parasite treatment
- general discussion on each puppy individually
The list goes on! 🫶🏼
Also very importantly at this appointment they had some treats and some time was spent desensitising them to the veterinary environment!
If you have got a new puppy but they are fully vaccinated, please still bring them for a Free of charge new pet check. As you can see above there is so much more to the visit than just vaccines 🩷
🤍Ralph🤍
Ralph has a condition called Primary Hypoadrenocorticism, also commonly known as Addisons disease.
Addisons disease is a condition in which the adrenal glands in Ralph’s body do not work as they should.
As a result Ralph has lower than normal levels of cortisol and aldosterone which are super important to keep the body functioning normally.
Treatment for Addisons consists of a hormone replacement drug and the use of steroids.
Therefore, Ralph comes to see us once a month for an injection called Zycortal.
It is a specific dose to Ralph’s requirements based on the blood tests we do to check his electrolytes✨
Although there is no cure for Addisons, Ralph can continue to live a normal and healthy life by having this monthly treatment🫶🏼
He is always such a brave boy and we enjoy seeing him each month🤍
🩷🦷Watch below for the journey of Dipstick 🩷🦷
Dipstick is such a special dog and one who everyone at Broom loves, just as much as he enjoys coming to see us🐾
These two lovely boys came in recently to see Vet Kristy for there Kennel Cough vaccines🐾
They are so well behaved for just 3 months of age!
We are so looking forward to seeing this brother duo grow and develop over the upcoming years ✨
Watch the story of angel girl Willow 🩷🫶🏼
✨Charlie ✨
This week we had the pleasure of Charlie who came in for his annual vaccinations with our Vet Georgie!
After a full clinical examination and discussion with his owners regarding his health and behaviour at home it was established that Charlie was potentially showing signs of drinking slightly more in his older age.
Georgie advised a full blood screen to look at the major organs to include the kidneys and liver along with a haematology screen to look for any signs of anemia or infection in the body.
Charlie was such a good boy for his blood test, we used Lick e' Licks to create a calm and quiet environment🤍
By allowing him the time to adjust to his new environment meant we were successful with his blood sample in a calm manner. Charlie really has a love hate relationship with his trips to the vets! Therefore, creating a safe space for him was so important to allow us to get the sample without him getting stressed and getting fearful with his behaviour.
Luckily Charlie's bloods showed no signs of changes to his kidney parameters and overall his bloods were very good for a cat of 12 years old!
