Who am I?
My name is Yrja, I have been living in Concots in the Lot since 2017 with my husband and our children on our sheep farm. Originally from Norway, I graduated as a vet from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark in 2016. During my studies I also took courses in France at the ONIRIS veterinary school in Nantes and in Oslo, Norway. Since leaving school I have worked with both small and large animals in different veterinary practices first in Norway and Sweden, then in France where I now work. I’m fluent in both English and French as well as Norwegian, Swedish and Danish.
I started Quercy Vétérinaire in april 2025 to offer a veterinary service to animals and their owners around Concots and Limogne en Quercy. In addition to the home visits I also consult at the Clinique Vétérinaire de Mas de Cazes in Parisot. I am a member of CapDouleur (www.capdouleur.fr) and l’Association des Vétérinaires à Domicile AVAD (www.veterinairesadomicile.fr)
