Specialist Vets in Ballyjamesduff

## Summary Sheelin Veterinary Practice is a small-animal clinic mentioned in reviews for treating cats and dogs, including end-of-life care. Owners describe situations ranging from routine assessment and diagnosis to a home visit and euthanasia. Review feedback is mixed: several people say animals were “thoroughly assessed” with “sound diagnosis,” while a repeated 1‑star review describes poor communication around a sick kitten’s condition and death (including the body being kept frozen before the owner was informed). Practical details owners mention include trying to fit people in quickly and, in one case, a vet coming out to see a dog when the owner’s usual vet couldn’t. ## Services Based on the latest written reviews available to us, the practice is described as providing: - Care for **cats and dogs** (multiple reviews mention both). - **Clinical assessment and diagnosis** (“thoroughly assess the animals and make sound diagnosis”). - **Euthanasia** for a dog (an owner describes the vet being compassionate while putting their dog to sleep). - A **call-out/home visit** for a dog (one owner says the vet “came out” when their own vet couldn’t). ## People - **Diarmuid** (role not explicitly stated, but described as “vet” in reviews): - Mentioned positively for being “considerate and accommodating” and for being compassionate during a dog’s euthanasia. - Other owners say he has treated their cats and dogs “with care and compassion.” - A negative account (from the same reviewer, posted twice) describes being “evasive” when asked for updates on a sick kitten. ## Reviews **4.1 stars from 23 reviews.** Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us. - **Thorough assessment/diagnosis:** multiple 5‑star reviews say animals are thoroughly assessed and diagnoses are sound. - **End-of-life support:** one owner highlights compassion during euthanasia and says they weren’t overcharged. - **Access and helpfulness:** one review says the team tried to see them as quickly as possible. - **Serious communication complaint:** a repeated 1‑star review alleges a lack of clear updates about a sick kitten, with the owner only learning in person that the kitten had died; another 1‑star review calls the service “useless” without specifics.
