ER vet vs Regular vet

[Cinder & Smoke]

I have a fairly well stocked critter pharmacy so I can handle alot of stuff at home,
at least til the clinic is open again.

I'm often there when the receptionist unlocks the door in the morning.

I'm surprised you don't have your Own Key to the place,
and a personal set of Scrubbies always at the ready in the Clinic.

My current vet clinic is also an ER clinic. If you just walk in as an urgent care case even during normal hours it'll cost more to be seen. I've had to do this with both Storm and Ziggy but luckily Ziggy's was considered an urgent care recheck so it basically cost me the same a regular office visit. If you go after normal hours then it costs even more just to be seen. I've never had to do this yet.

When Storm became blocked 2 times I did have to take him to an ER clinic and it did cost a lot just be seen. It was a different place than the one I currently go to. There are some things that can't wait until morning. One time Sunny was having urinary problems and they offered to check out his bladder for free. I was surprised to hear this but I didn't actually see a vet. A vet tech came out and did this. I then made a regular appointment the next morning for him at my vet.
