GENERAL MEDICINE
Why should you call on me?
The same as in a veterinary clinic! I'm equipped with everything you need: ophthalmoscope, otoscope, microscope, ultrasound scanner, as well as blood and urine analyzers.
Many of the pathologies encountered by vets can be detected and treated at home.
I am able to carry out minor operations (wound care, abscesses...) in your home.
What are the limits?
Unfortunately, I'm not equipped to take X-rays. These enable us to assess the condition of the skeleton (fracture, dislocation...) as well as certain cardiac or pulmonary disorders.
In addition, any unstable state of your pet may require hospitalization, for which continuous monitoring is essential. Some life-threatening emergencies may require a heavier technical platform, enabling resuscitation if necessary.
Finally, I don't perform "routine" surgery (sterilization, dental care, removal of masses, etc.).
What if further tests are needed?
I work in partnership with the Clinique de Vetivia in Biarritz, a team of specialized veterinarians (surgeons, imagers, ophthalmologists, in-house doctors, etc.). Should your companion require additional examinations, and after discussion with you of course, I will make sure to transfer his history to the relevant department and obtain an appointment according to your availability.
I will then be available to set up the appropriate treatment, or provide follow-up care for your companion once the diagnosis has been made.
My pet is very stressed at the vet's. What can I do?
This is one of the many advantages of a home vet: your pet will be less stressed at home! Sometimes, the home vet is even welcomed as a friend, with licks and purrs.
If this is not the case, you may want to consider medicalization before I come, so don't hesitate to talk to me about it before making an appointment. However, I sometimes have to sedate an uncooperative or painful cat (or, more rarely, dog).
