Medicine
In addition to their initial training as general veterinarians, the veterinarians at the Saint-Paul clinic regularly update and enhance their skills. Dr. Cartiaux and Dr. Salas hold a certificate of advanced studies in internal medicine. Dr. Flachaire has completed the modular training program in feline medicine.
Just like in humans, medical consultations cover various types of diseases:
- Viral and bacterial pathologies
- Dermatology
- Dentistry
- Cardiology
- Gastroenterology
- ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) – Pulmonology
- Uro-Nephrology
- Endocrinology
- Oncology
Surgery
Soft tissue surgeries such as sterilizations, digestive surgery, urinary surgery, reproductive system surgery, obstetrics, and skin and subcutaneous surgery are handled by Drs. Cartiaux and Flachaire.
Orthopedic surgery is managed by our specialized collaborators, Drs. Znaty and Lebreton.
For each procedure, the surgeon is assisted by a Veterinary Support Staff (ASV), and the safety of the anesthesia is monitored.
Anesthesia protocols are tailored to the breed and health conditions of the patient.
Pain management is an integral part of the per and postoperative protocol and ensures the patient’s comfort and the quality of the healing process.
The clinic is a member of the Cap Douleur network.

Hospitalization
The Place:
Priority is given to calming the hospitalized animal: no direct line of sight with others, cozy comfort, anti-stress pheromones, music.
The Care:
Each patient is handled gently, with strokes and soothing words.
The veterinarian re-evaluates the condition of each patient daily, prescribes specific treatments, and any additional examinations that may be needed.
The Veterinary Support Staff takes care of hygiene, patient feeding, monitoring of IV drips, administers medication, and assists the veterinarian during examinations and treatments.
The Visits:
Visits take place in the afternoon.
Maintaining the bond between the animal and its family is important. We encourage visits that allow the owner to see how their companion is settled in, and which have a significant positive impact on the animal’s morale.
Radiology
We have a FUJI digital development radiography machine.
Radiography is a complementary examination that is most often performed without sedation and with immediate results, particularly used in trauma cases, bone and joint pathologies, cardiology, and pulmonology.
The radiographic images of your pet will be stored in their computerized medical file and will be sent to you by email.
The regulatory controls of our radiology installation in terms of radiation protection are entrusted to the company Doséo.
Ultrasound
Performed most often without sedation but with a gentle and reassuring positioning of the patient, ultrasound is the most commonly used imaging examination in gastroenterology, hepatology, uro-nephrology, reproductive pathology, and screening for abdominal tumors.
It is also the screening and monitoring examination of choice for cardiac pathologies.
Examinations performed:
- Medical abdominal ultrasounds
- Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspirations
- Ultrasound-guided cystocenteses
- Pregnancy diagnostic ultrasounds
- Cardiac ultrasounds
Laboratory
Our IDEXX and FUJI laboratory automates allow us to deliver blood test results within minutes. This is particularly valuable for making quick care decisions in emergencies and for the daily monitoring of our hospitalized patients:
- Biochemistry
- Hematology
- Endocrinology
- Electrolyte panel
- Immuno-chromatographic tests
Our Leica microscope is a valuable ally in our diagnostic consultations:
- Urinary sediment examination
