Please don't let it be what I think it is...

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 think I'd be inclined to take her somewhere else - poor girl

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!

If it's after hours I'm surprised they even have people answering the phone. Around here everyone has a machine that gives an outgoing message only of the hours of business and the number for the after hours ER place. Are you able to make a quick call during a lunch time or something that is during the business hours?

Glad to hear you got a Sat. appt anyways. Keep us posted to what they say.

Good luck with the appointment

As am I!

On a more sober note, I took Ivy to the park to let her burn off some energy. DUMB DUMB DUMB idea. She hit the bump on a branch or something, and it started bleeding again. Ughhhhh. I feel like crap I really hope that doesn't have any adverse affects.
