🏆 Patient of the Month 🏆

Of course, every patient that comes through our doors is patient of the month! 🐶 🐱 🐰

But we would like to start doing a special mention of one pet a month to highlight the different types of cases we see. 📝

Toby presented to with a swelling of his ear that was diagnosed as an aural haematoma, which is like a large blood blister. This is uncomfortable and can result in infection and a disfigurement of the ear.

It is often a result of trauma to the ear flap due to underlying ear disease, so this requires treatment too in many cases.

Toby required a surgical treatment under general anaesthetic, to place an in dwelling drain into the ear flap and to place sutures to encourage healing. He also had cytology of his ears performed in our in house lab and both ears flushed out.

A head bandage was applied for the initial recovery, and then poor Toby had to live with a buster collar to prevent him interfering with the surgical site.

Toby required a short course of antibiotics alongside the pain relief when he developed a post operative infection around the sutures. But despite this complication, he healed up well and was very good for all his checks!

Toby had the drain removed and then the sutures removed and was advised on ongoing ear cleaning management to try to keep his ears healthy.

Toby and his owners had to manage a messy and sometimes painful process to treat his ear. Toby remained happy to come into the vets for treats and cuddles during his check ups and we are happy that everything healed up so well.

Well done Toby! 🐾 ❤️ 👂

🐻 Bear 🐻 is registered as an XL bully and came in today for his mandatory castration ✂️

XL bully muzzles can be taken off in non-public veterinary spaces, at the vets discretion, if needed for examination or procedures.

Bear was a very good boy all day and we wish him a speedy recovery 🥰

As a reminder, the final deadline to neuter XL Bully dogs in England and Wales that were less than 7 months old on January 31, 2024, is June 30, 2025.

📣🐕We proudly announce🐕📣

that Broxbourne Veterinary Centre has been accredited as a

🏆 🐶 Dog Friendly Clinic 🐶 🏆

The Dog Friendly Clinic Scheme has been set up by Dogs Trust and The British Veterinary Behaviour Association to help vet clinics and owners make every dog's veterinary experience the best possible.

🔗 To find out more, and how you can help your dog have a better trip to the vets, visit www.dogfriendlyclinic.org.uk

🐶 To help make visits more positive for your dogs, we’ve made a few subtle but meaningful changes to our clinic.

👩‍⚕️Our Medical HRVN, Stef, is now our appointed Dog Friendly Clinic Advocate! She recently completed a course focused on understanding canine behaviour in a veterinary setting, and has since guided the team in creating a more comfortable environment for your dogs at our clinic.

🫶These small adjustments might not be obvious at first glance, but they can make a big difference—turning a stressful visit into a much happier experience for your dog.

👏 We are all very proud of Stef and thank her for all her hard work.

📞 If you would like to find out more about this accreditation and how it may help your dog, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Our nurses have been reporting that operation wounds treated with laser therapy have been healing in half the time expected! This is great news for the animal as it means they can be up and about sooner after an operation and their pain is much reduced! The laser is a handheld, silent, safe device used to promote healing and decrease infection and can be used in a wide variety of conditions. We offer it as a post-op package to nearly all patients needing surgery because we’ve seen the benefits first hand.
