Happy Howl-a-Ween! 👻🐶🎃 Drawing by our talented Taringa Vets artist!

What’s more scary than ghosts?
Your fur-kids getting into chocolate or halloween decorations 🙀!!

No chocolate or lollies for four-legged monsters! (xylitol/sugar free lollies or those with wrappers are especially dangerous!) 🍫 We would also like to remind families to keep these and halloween decorations like fake spiderwebs or stringy decorations away from paw’s reach. Please visit your nearest emergency clinic if you suspect your pet has ingested anything they aren’t supposed to.

Have a safe and fun day!! 🥳

Pretzel wasn’t too keen on having his nails trimmed (for a lot of dogs, this can be a bit scary), but luckily Rona was happy to provide some moral support (and a cuddle) while Sandra got the job done 🥰🐾 He ended up being super brave!!

Does your dog need a little extra encouragement for nail trims too?

There’s a bit of set-up involved in taking a cat’s blood pressure! 🐱

🐾 The cuff wraps around a leg or tail.
🐾 The Doppler probe amplifies the pulse so we can hear it.
🐾 The sphygmomanometer tells us the pressure reading.
🐾 The headphones ensure that the noise produced by the Doppler does not distress our patient.
🐾 And most importantly, the creamy treat keeps everyone happy!

Blood pressure readings can be affected by stress, so a big part of getting a useful result is giving our patient time to settle. Keeping things calm allows us to take a series of readings rather than just one, so that we are confident our reading is accurate.

We love hearing the little things that make a difference. 💚

Who knew they made blood pressure cuffs this tiny?! 🐱

A human blood pressure cuff wraps around your upper arm. In cats, we use a much smaller cuff around a leg or tail instead.

It works the same way, just on a much smaller scale. 💚

Cato has told us that creamy treats are a very important part of his treatment plan! For some cats, a good distraction and something familiar to focus on can make handling much less stressful.
Cato was very happy with this arrangement! 🐾

Oatie had nurses Nicia and Sandra on ear-cleaning duty after both ears started showing early signs of a yeast flare-up. 🐶👂He was a very good and brave boy.

Malassezia is a type of yeast that normally lives on dogs’ skin and in their ears, but an overgrowth can lead to irritation and ear infections. For Oatie, it seems to be something that likes to pop up seasonally, so catching the signs early helps us get on top of it before those ears get too uncomfortable!

📞🐾 Meet Our External Reception Team (Part 2)! 🐾📞

Here are a few more of the wonderful nurses who make up our offsite reception team and help keep things running smoothly behind the scenes. We’re very lucky to have them as part of our wider Taringa Vets team!

Have you spoken with one of these lovely nurses before? If they’ve helped you or you’ve had a particularly lovely experience, we’d love to hear about it in the comments so we can pass it on! ☺️

📞🐾 Meet Our External Reception Team (Part 1)! 🐾📞

Ever wondered who the friendly voices on the other end of our phones belong to?

After Vet Nurse Day, it felt right to introduce you to a part of the Taringa Vets team you may have spoken to many times but never met: our offsite reception nurses!

They're based all around Australia, but you'd never know it from the way they work alongside us. Staying connected and collaborating is really important to us, and we're so grateful to have a team who feels the same. Their wonderful support gives our in-clinic nurses more time for the patients and families right in front of them.

Is there anyone here who you've spoken to, who you can now put a face to? 🥰
