Dr Leigh Sobye NVS BVSc MRCVS Bio: I graduated from the University of Liverpool Veterinary School in 2000 with a merit in Small Animal Studies. After which I returned to my home county of Cornwall to work as a small and farm animal vet. Although I immensely enjoyed my time in Cornwall I was keen to develop my career in companion animal practice; and, after a short search, I found Willett House Veterinary Surgeons. This practice was perfect to develop my career; being steeped in history; yet progressive in its thinking and always looking to modernise in an ever-evolving profession. During my time at Willett House I have worked at some point at every branch and know many of a loyal client base. I became a Partner in 2004 and took on the key role as Practice Manager in 2005. Despite most of my time spent managing and developing the practice I have a keen interest in small animal medicine and exotic pets (mainly lizards, tortoises, rabbits and small mammals). I am currently Trustee of the charity “Greyhounds in Need” which rescues Galgos (Spanish Greyhounds) from Spain and rehomes them all over Europe – https://greyhoundsinneed.co.uk Currently I live with my wife Vicky and have three children Cadan, Isla and Maya. Pets: Vicky and I are always rescuing strays from the practice. Currently we have two dogs (Tiber & Tyche); three cats (Vader, Mando and Teebo – the last one will keep you Star Wars fans guessing!); a bearded dragon (Sparky); a tortoise Remus and two tree frogs (Aristotle and Archimedes) Continued Professional Development: My main fields of interest are business development, small animal medicine and exotic animal practice. Recent continued professional development includes: • Various Exotic Animal Lectures • Business Management Course • Laboratory Animal medicine • Abdominal Ultrasound • Dentistry • Polyuria and Polydipsia in Cats and Dogs • Small Animal Emergency Medicine • 2-year Small Animal Medicine Course • Canine Endocrinology • Endoscopy • Medicine Dispensing
