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

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

I hope everything goes well. I didn't realize how lucky I am. My vet is an emergency 24hr one and there's someone there answering the phone at all times. Sorry you've had such an experience just trying to get an appointment.

Thanks, guys

We're dropping her off at the vet tomorrow morning. He said he's gotten a lot of emergencies lately so he may have to bump her surgery to Thursday, but he'll most likely get her done tomorrow. It's a little odd He's not a very formal person and the clinic practices aren't very "orthodox", but the quality of care is all I really care about.

ETA: I dropped Ivy off at the clinic this morning. She'll be staying overnight and we'll be picking her up tomorrow. It's so quiet at home =(

Is poor little Ivyyy alright, Sophie?

I'm glad it was benign, but it sucks that she had to go through surgery to get it removed. I hope she's feeling better!

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.

Just checking in to see how our little Ivy girl is doing. Not sure if you've been to the vet yet or not. I hope she is okay!!
