Hospitalization

Why hospitalize your pet?

Veterinary hospitalization may be recommended in several specific clinical situations that require constant medical supervision or care that cannot be administered at home. The most common cases where hospitalization is recommended are:

• Following surgical procedure to monitor recovery and effectively manage pain
• In case of acute illness requiring reviews and salary adjustments
• To administer complex treatments such as permanent intravenous infusions or assisted feeding
• To perform a series of diagnostic examinations requiring several levies or comments
• In case of contagious disease requiring strict isolation to protect other animals

Based on the principle that we are always better at home than at the hospital, we are honoured that your pet's stay at the clinic is as short as possible, while ensuring its full recovery.

Our Hospital Facilities

How is hospitalization going at our clinic?

Admission and personalized reception

When Admission, a veterinarian carries out a full examination of your animal to establish an appropriate care plan. We take the time to collect all the essential information:

• Complete medical history and ongoing treatment
• Specific diet and habits of your animal
• Your contact information to keep you regularly informed of the evolution of his condition
• Possibility to bring a familiar object (cover, toy) to reassure your animal

Medical monitoring and attention to daily care

During veterinary hospitalization at the Clinique Paris 17, your animal is given overall care:

• Daily clinical examinations by a veterinarian
• Nursing adapted to his state of health (pants, injections, treatments)
• Food adapted to its physiological or therapeutic needs
• Rigorous hygiene with change of the alesis as soon as necessary

Defiled animals are systematically dried and dried carefully. Grabatary patients are regularly mobilized to prevent escares and complications related to immobility. All our patients are fed exclusively with high-end veterinary foods, and we adapt to the specific diet of each animal (croquettes/paste, hypoallergenic, renal failure, etc.).

How's one night at the veterinarian's clinic?

The question « how the vet spends one night » is common in worried owners. At the Clinique Vétérinaire Paris 17, we provide continuous monitoring even during the night hours:

• Regular rounds to check the condition of hospitalized patients
• Night drug administration according to established protocols
• Quiet and slightly illuminated environment to promote rest while allowing monitoring
• On-call veterinarian available for immediate emergency response
• Thermal comfort ensured to maintain optimum temperature throughout the night

Hospitalisation record: rigorous and transparent monitoring

Each in-patient animal has its own veterinary hospital record, which is an essential monitoring tool. This detailed sheet includes:

• The complete identity of the animal and its relevant medical history
• The precise reason for hospitalization and the diagnosis established or suspected
• The tests performed and their results (blood tests, imaging...)
• Treatments administered with dosages, routes of administration and timing
• Vital constants in successive examinations
• Observations of his behaviour, appetite and physiological functions
• The specific care to be provided according to its evolution

This sheet ensures perfect continuity of care between the different members of the healthcare team and allows you to keep accurately informed of the evolution of your animal's health.
