    This clinic is p!ssing me off. I called today to make an appointment. They told me they'll call me back tomorrow to set that up...What?! It's getting so ridiculous!

    Ivy is being her crazy old self, and the bump is still itself, all red and angry looking. Even if it is a cyst, I think she scraped off the top layer of skin and it doesn't look pretty, so I want her to see the whitecoats soon!!!

    Poor Ivy. Is there another clinic you can take her to? This place doesn't sound like a place to trust anyway. I hope you get her in soon.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Oh no! Get better soon, Ivy... =,( poor girl. It does look exactly like a hystiocytoma, but it's a good idea to take her in just to be safe.

    Sheesh. Those receptionists sound pretty lame. You should definitely tell your Vet! What if you had an emergency?

    Two days in a row and you can't even get an appointment time?? I mean I could understand it if they didn't have anything available right away and had to schedule you for next week or something, but to not even let you make an appointment??? That doesn't make any sense!!

    Honestly I'd be looking for another vet if it was me. I mean if that's how they're gonna be what will they do if you have an emergency or something?

    I can't understand why you were not able to schedule an appt. Even if they were not able to see you that day, you should've been able to @ least schedule something. Find another vet if you can. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and Ivy, sending good vibes too!!

    Ugh, the thing is that the vet himself is a very nice guy and very competent. The only problem is that they apparently won't allow you to make an appointment outside of their practice hours (which is, inconveniently, 9-5). So, if you call at 6 or even 5:30, they'll answer you but won't provide you with any service. Really, really frustrating.

    Anyways, I did manage to squeeze her into a Saturday morning appointment, so we'll see how that goes!
