HiYa, Zipp ~

First ~
How's the PATIENT doing??
Give Piper a {{{HUGG}}} or several,
and a few Ear Skritchies, too!

Next ~
SOOooo Sorry you were treated that way...

What to do??
I'll side with the Take a Deep Breath
*AND* Think of da Bunnie First crowd...

The Practice does have a reputation of Good Care with Bunnies...
THAT Fact ought to be considered before
you consider what to do with your injured feelings.

I do find it HARD to Believe a VET acted that way
to you (NOT that I doubt you)...
Which leads me to think Something Else was bothering him.
Gini offered some possibilities.

I'll also give him Two Points for
1) Actually Diagnosing the Piper Problem
2) And he DID apologize...
(TOO BAD he needs a LOT more than 2 Points to get
back to ZERO;
let alone put some points on the board.)

My Suggestion?
TRY (real hard) to act like it didn't happen when you speak with
any of them, and during the follow-up visit.

In fairness to Piper (who probably wasn't *bothered* by Doc's sour attitude a bit) - hold you unhappiness back until AFTER Piper is well.

And... you might (HOPEfully) see a Change In Attitude on
you next visit. Doc might be in for an earfull himself
after he chews out the receptionist. Once he hears HER side of
just what WAS pre-arranged with you...
He might be chewing on some Humble Pie!

Good Questions have been raised earlier:
1) Just what IS his position in the Practice??
Head Vet;
Partner with others;
or just Hired Help with a DVM after his name?

If he's the #1 Head Honcho -
- do some serious searching for another Bunnie Vet.

If he's a Partner or Hired Help -
Do try to give him the benifit of the doubt -
See how he treats you the next time (and I wouldn't be
bashfull about REMINDING him how he acted, if he
tries to ignore it and not apologize when he sees you.)
NO apology next time = Kick Ass!
As soon as Piper is finished with treatments;
march into the Head Honcho's office and lay it all
out for him.

One more You sound just like Dad thought -
It's PIPER that needs the Doc's Care & Knowledge - NOT you.
As long as PIPER is being Treated Well, try to forget his
crappy treatment of you.
But only "forget" till Piper's well -
THEN unload on him and the Boss with all you've got!

I'll HOPE he realizes just how UN-professionally he acted!
A Bouquet of Roses presented on your next visit would be in order!

{{{HUGGs}}} to You and Piper!
And give da Kitty a Few Skritchies, too!
