Screen, as a potential running mate (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vet

(Other definitions for vet that I've seen before include "A small animal doctor" , "Screen" , "'Examine this doctor, in short (3)'" , "Check someone for suitability" , "animal doctor to > investigate" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
