Well done Copelan for being the first nurse to get through our new “Vet Nurse Bingo” training program! Cope had to successfully complete a number of nursing skills under Veterinarian and Senior Nurse supervision so each skill could be marked off.

Maraboon Vet Surgery takes pride in our training and mentoring programs! Our vet nurses are passionate about learning and growing their nursing skills and what a better way to make it fun and engaging by turning our nurse skills training into a bingo game!

ONE WEEK LEFT OF THIS LIMITED TIME OFFER!
For every dog starting on Beransa, will receive their second injection free! This offer is only available to the first 20 patients who book in between now and the 24th December!

What is Beransa?
Beransa is a monthly injection to help alleviate pain associated with osteoarthritis. This injection contains a monoclonal antibody which targets nerve growth factor, a pain receptor in the joints. By blocking these receptors we block the pain messages from being delivered to the brain, thus helping with pain relief and inflammation in the joints.

If you would like to book your dog in for their first Beransa or would like to know more about this treatment, give our friendly team a call on 07 4987 6800.

ARE YOUR PETS PROTECTED AGAINST THE DEADLY PARALYSIS TICK?

We are seeing an increased number of tick paralysis cases in Central Queensland! It's important to stay up-to-date with your pet's tick and flea prevention, especially if living or travelling to tick-prone areas. Paralysis ticks are most common on the east coast of Australia, and whilst more cases are seen in warmer months, paralysis ticks are found year-round.

If you are travelling this holiday season (even if you are only venturing as far as Rockhampton/Mackay regions), make sure you have given your dog or cat their tick prevention, especially important for those travelling to northern beaches where there is a substantial and active tick population. We encourage pet owners to read our most recent blog post on tick paralysis, including how they affect your pet, symptoms, veterinary treatment and prevention.

Maraboon Vet Surgery stock a number of effective over-the-counter products to prevent external parasites including paralysis ticks, fleas and mites for both your cats and dogs. Contact our friendly team on 07 4987 6800 if you have any questions on tick paralysis, preventative products or if you think your pet has been affected by a tick.

Dr Sasha. Where do we even begin when it comes to saying goodbye? Dr Sasha has been a part of the Maraboon Vet Family for over 8 years and it just doesn't seem real that she won't be here tomorrow. Dr Sasha has been our very talented vet, our friend, our mentor and our rock. As she leaves with her family to go back to her home town up north, we are filled with sadness but also an immense amount of gratitude for her service and for being a part of our team for all these years. Though we will miss her, we wish Dr Sasha and her family all the best for their future. Goodbye Dr Sasha and thank you for everything.
