💙 A HUGE thank you to our incredible nurses and support team! 💙

At Advanced Vetcare, our nurses and support staff are at the heart of everything we do. From caring for our patients around the clock, supporting worried families, and assisting with complex medical and surgical cases, to keeping our hospitals running smoothly behind the scenes, there is so much that happens beyond the consult room.
Your compassion, dedication, skill and teamwork make an enormous difference every single day. Whether it’s providing comfort to a patient, supporting a client through a difficult time, helping a colleague, or going the extra mile when things get busy, we see and appreciate everything you do. 🐾

Thank you for the care you give, the knowledge you share, the laughs along the way, and the commitment you bring to our patients, clients and each other.
Advanced Vetcare simply wouldn’t be what it is without you. We are so grateful to have you on our team! 💙🐶🐱

We’re looking for an experienced emergency veterinarian to join our ECC teams at Advanced Vetcare Kensington and Kew, with full-time and part-time positions available.

Our emergency departments are at the heart of our hospitals, working closely with our specialist Medicine, Surgery and Oncology teams. We have multiple ANZCVS Emergency Membership veterinarians, many with more than 10 years’ experience, who enjoy supporting our associates, interns and nursing teams.
We’re proud of the collaborative environment we have created, with a strong emphasis on teamwork, learning and providing a reliable, high-quality service to our patients, clients and referring veterinarians.

A little about us
Advanced Vetcare Kensington has been providing referral and emergency services to Melbourne’s pets for almost 20 years. Our Kew hospital is a purpose-built 24-hour ECC and referral facility, located in the inner eastern suburbs along the Yarra trail.
Both hospitals offer access to advanced equipment including intensive care ventilators, blood gas analysis, cage-side ultrasound and CT, with vets and nurses working closely together to provide patient care.
We’re independently owned and place a lot of value on our people, our relationships with referring practices and creating a workplace where clinicians can develop and enjoy a sustainable career.

Who we’re looking for
Ideally, you’ll have 2–3+ years’ experience in emergency and critical care, be comfortable managing routine emergency cases independently and be keen to develop your skills with the support of our experienced ECC team.
ANZCVS membership in ECC is welcomed, but not essential. We’re looking for someone who enjoys working as part of a multidisciplinary team and values honesty, respect, accountability and excellent patient care.

We offer a sustainable mix of day, evening, night and weekend shifts, with both full-time and part-time options available.
There is also plenty of opportunity for learning and development, including mentorship, tutorials, Grand Rounds, RECOVER CPR training, VIN and Vetbloom access, and support from our wider specialist team.

If you’re interested, we’d love to hear from you.
Email [email protected] to apply or, if you’re not quite ready to apply and would simply like to find out more about the role and our team, get in touch and we’d be very happy to discuss this further.

🌸🐱 Marcie vs The Lily: A Very Close Call! 🚨
Meet Marcie, a gorgeous young cat who got herself into a spot of trouble after deciding that a lily looked like a tasty snack!

Unfortunately for Marcie, lilies are highly toxic to cats and even small amounts can cause severe acute kidney failure. This includes eating parts of the plant and, in some cases, exposure to pollen or vase water. ⚠️🐾

Common signs of lily toxicity can include:
🤢 Vomiting and nausea
💧 Increased or decreased drinking and urination
😴 Lethargy and weakness
🍽️ Loss of appetite
🐾 Abdominal discomfort
🚨 In severe cases, kidney failure and neurological signs can develop

Thankfully, Marcie's family acted quickly and she was brought straight to Advanced Vetcare. We thoroughly washed the pollen from her face, induced vomiting to remove as much of the plant as possible and started her on IV fluids to protect her kidneys. 💧🩺

The good news? Marcie's kidney parameters remained normal the following day, and she was able to head home happy and healthy! 🏡💕
A reminder for cat owners: If you have cats at home, it's safest to avoid lilies altogether. They are simply not worth the risk!
We're very happy this little lily-loving troublemaker had a happy ending! 🐱🌿

Meet Joey, an 11-year-old Samoyed with quite the appetite... just not for food! 🐾

Joey came to see us after several weeks of ongoing diarrhoea, poor appetite, and a worrying weight loss of nearly 2 kg in just 4 weeks. Abdominal X-rays revealed he'd been snacking on an impressive collection of rocks 🪨. While that certainly wasn't ideal, we weren't convinced it explained everything.

An abdominal ultrasound uncovered another suspiciously shaped foreign body hiding in his intestines. The only way to find out what it was was with exploratory surgery.

The culprit? A doorstop! 🚪😳
During surgery, we removed the doorstop along with the rocks, giving Joey the best chance for a full recovery.

Joey's story is a great reminder that our pets can swallow the most unexpected objects, and sometimes there is more than one problem going on. If your pet has persistent vomiting, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, or unexplained weight loss, it's always worth having them checked sooner rather than later.

We're happy to report Joey is on the road to recovery, and home with his family ❤️🐶.

🎉 Happy World Corgi Day! 🎉

Today we're celebrating the short legs, big personalities, and endless smiles that make Corgis so special. From their signature wiggles and fluffy "loaves" to their boundless enthusiasm for treats, toys, and adventures, Corgis have a unique way of stealing hearts wherever they go.

Whether they're visiting us for a check-up, showing off their latest trick, or charming the entire clinic staff, our Corgi patients always brighten our day.

Share a photo of your Corgi in the comments and help us celebrate these wonderful little dogs! 🐾❤️

🌽 Corn cobs are one of the most common (and trickiest!) foreign bodies we see in dogs. 🐶

If swallowed whole, they’re the perfect size to get stuck in the stomach or intestines and can quickly become a life-threatening obstruction — often requiring surgery 🏥

At Advanced Vet Care, we have a range of endoscopes, which means if a corn cob is caught early, we can sometimes retrieve it from the stomach without surgery 🙌

But it’s not always that simple… on the way down, strong jaw muscles can crush and compress the cob, helping it slip down the oesophagus. On the way back up? We don’t have those muscles to help — which can make retrieval much more challenging.

If you think your dog may have eaten a corn cob 🌽, early veterinary attention can make all the difference 🐾
