For both your questions, you are probably better talking directly to the airline and the vet(s). Also, there are companies who specialise in transporting animals, don't know their names, but I'm sure you can find them through google. I may be wrong, but I think some of the airlines prefer you to arrange the transport - crate etc - through those companies.
Be aware that the dog will be sitting in the crate on the ramp at the airport for potentially quite a long time. If the weather is warm that day, the temperature in the crate will be warmer, so you might want to think about flying at night.
Also have you thought about the option of taking a car, on the ferry and driving to Belguim? A lot less stressful for the dog, tho' of course it will take longer.
