💙 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 kitten 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 saw the lily staining on her face and acted quickly. She was brought straight to Advanced Vetcare. We thoroughly washed 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 with exploratory surgery. The culprit? A doorstop! 🚪😳

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 back home with his family ❤️🐶.

🐾💙 Patient Update: Louie! 💙🐾
Meet Louie, a gorgeous 6-month-old Yorkshire Terrier who recently visited us after becoming unwell with inappetence (not wanting to eat) and diarrhoea.

Young puppies can become dehydrated much more quickly than adult dogs, especially when they're experiencing vomiting or diarrhoea. If your puppy stops eating or has ongoing tummy upsets, it's important to have them checked by a veterinarian as early treatment can make a big difference.

Louie was admitted to hospital where he received:
💧 Intravenous fluids to correct dehydration
💉 Anti-nausea medication to help settle his tummy
💊 Probiotics to support a healthy gut

We're delighted to say Louie responded beautifully to treatment and has made a great recovery! He's now back home, where we hope he's enjoying plenty of cuddles, rest, and getting back to his cheeky puppy adventures. 🏡🐾❤️
We're so pleased to see you feeling better, Louie! 🥰

🚨 Rat Bait Alert – Louie's Story 🚨

Meet Louie, a gorgeous 7-year-old Kelpie with a tale that could have ended very differently.

Louie's owners first noticed he seemed lethargic and had developed a soft cough at home. Not long afterwards, he suddenly collapsed, and they rushed him to their regular veterinarian. His regular vet quickly suspected rat bait toxicity, and blood tests confirmed prolonged clotting times—a tell-tale sign that his blood could no longer clot properly. Recognising how critical his condition was, they referred Louie to us for emergency treatment 🚑

When Louie arrived, he was suffering from severe internal bleeding caused by the rat bait. 😟

Our team provided intensive care, including:
💧 Intravenous fluids
🩸 A plasma transfusion to replace the missing clotting factors
❤️ A packed red blood cell transfusion to treat blood loss
💊 Vitamin K, the antidote for this type of rat bait

After several days of around-the-clock care, we're thrilled to say Louie made a fantastic recovery and was able to head home to his loving family. 🥰🏡

⚠️ Did you know? Many rat baits work by preventing the body from recycling vitamin K, which is essential for blood clotting. This can lead to life-threatening internal bleeding, and pets may not show signs until several days after ingestion.
If you suspect your dog or cat has eaten rat bait—even if they seem completely normal—seek veterinary attention immediately. Early diagnosis and treatment can be lifesaving.

A huge thank you to Louie's regular veterinarian for recognising the signs so quickly and referring him for urgent care. 💙 Teamwork truly saves lives! 🐾
