About
Get to know Vet Emergency
Vet Emergency is a team of emergency veterinarians available 24/7 and ready to rapidly intervene at your home in order to provide medical care to your animal. Our animal ambulances allow our veterinarians to have state-of-the-art equipment and all the necessary drugs to stabilize almost any emergency. We have the required medicines and equipment to deal with emergencies. Among other things, we can perform on-the-spot blood and urine tests with immediate results, do an ultrasound, place your pet on oxygen, suture wounds, etc.
The vast majority of emergencies can be managed at your home until your treating veterinarian takes over when his/her office reopens. In the most serious cases, having an emergency veterinarian at your home will enable you to first stabilize your pet’s condition ensuring a much lesser health risk during its transport to the clinic.
Our ambulances
We are equipped with ambulances that allow us to take any type of cat or dog to a veterinary clinic as a matter of emergency if hospitalisation is unavoidable. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that the transporting of pets is only done following a consultation by our staff. It is only after carrying out examinations and the necessary treatments that the intervening vet will decide whether he or she thinks it would be appropriate to transport your animal. The ambulance is not available simply for the transport of animals. Our vehicles have two sections:
- a compartment to accommodate animals of any size
- a compartment where we have access to all the equipment needed to manage the emergency at home in the best conditions (oxygen concentrator, cat oxygen cage and spray chamber, all sizes of collar, stock of injectables, splints and sterile surgical care kits, see attached).
Elina Ikramov Jolivet Founder – Vet Emergency
During her years of study at the veterinary school of Maisons-Alfort, dr. Elina Jolivet already worked at veterinary emergency departments of several Paris-based private facilities in the evenings and weekends. That’s how she discovered the exciting world of emergency services. After graduating as a veterinarian, she was an intern at the Nantes Veterinary School for a year to improve her skills. Subsequently, she joined Vetoadom in Paris, a veterinary emergency service that provides homecare in the Île-de-France region with a team of more than 40 veterinarians. This allowed dr. Elina to hone her knowledge of emergency medicine and learn the specifics of emergency interventions at home. But, above all, she discovered this thrilling profession at the bedside of animals, a profession where routine does not exist, a profession full of moving encounters. That’s why she decided to set up her own veterinary home emergency service in Belgium in order to make the animals and their owners benefit from the importance of such a service.
