The Role
Here at Shipley and Idle Vets we have a varied caseload, and no two days are the same. We are big on preventative healthcare, high standards of care, great customer service and client continuity. We want to make sure that you have time to follow up on cases and spend more time with your patients, so we run 15-minute consultations.

We provide first opinion care to small animals but also some internal medicine referrals. We are proud to also work with a local hedgehog charity.
 
Our teams are really friendly and welcoming. We all really support each other and enjoying our working days together, which is very important to us. Our fantastic team is made up of 5 Vet Surgeons, 4 RVN's, VCA's and Receptionists. We are all like-minded people with our own interests. We are keen to support your interests and career goals so please do speak to us about these!

Company

The practice is now equipped with an extensive laboratory meaning we can run extensive investigative blood profiles including blood electrolytes, proteins, liver and kidney factors, cholesterol, glucose, and red and white blood cell analysis.

We have a high powered x-ray machine enabling us to take highly diagnostic  detailed x-rays of pets from tiny rabbits to Great Danes.

 

We are able to examine samples of cells from suspicious lumps and bumps (called fine needle aspirates) with the ability to prepare, stain and examine slides in the Shipley laboratory.

 

We have a good quality ultrasound scanner to allow non invasive examinations of internal organs.

A full range of endoscopes are used for examining the oesophagus, stomach, small and large intestines (biopsies are often taken this way instead of having to surgically open up a pet to get samples). Also for examining airways. The endoscopes are also used occasionally to retrieve items that have been swallowed and may be too dangerous to leave making their own way through the body (again instead of surgically opening up an abdomen of a  dog or cat for instance).
