Qualified Veterinary Surgeons

Is a doctor in Veterinary Medicine and qualified in 1986. She has been employed in different small animal practices mainly in the south of the country and moved to this area in 1993. She has been working locally until May 2001.

She bought "the old doctors surgery" in Saxilby and converted it into "Vicarage Veterinary Centre", opening in January 2002. She has a particular interest in rabbits and guinea pigs and her favourite dogs are; boxers and lurchers (she likes muscles!).           

In her spare time, she likes to renovate the old property, potter around in the garden or go walking with her 2 children and her greyhound, Honey. She loves travelling (but that is very limited for the moment of course!). She has one dog, two cats, two rabbits, one guinea pig, tropical fish and five chickens! (cared for by her daughter, Jasmine!).

Jenny qualified from Glasgow University in 1997 and has been in small animal practice since, firstly in Derbyshire and in Lincolnshire since 2000.  She took a short career break in 2004 for a 9 month period of travelling with her husband Andy, the real highlight of the trip was high altitude trekking in Northern India .

She has recently returned to part time working after a period of maternity leave.  Baby Anna was born in July last year, she is a lovely little sister for Alistair who is now 2 and a half. Between the two of them they keep their Mum very busy!

Jenny is enjoying her return to veterinary life as a Locum at Vicarage Vets, with particular interests including feline internal medicine.
