Hi everyone,

Had a bit of a scary day when my boy Rocky started vomitting blood this morning at 11:30. I immediately called his dogter who said they'd book him in for 2:30 - I asked if that wasn't too long ... the receptionist said if he was moving around he'd be OK.

Well, this is my BOY, he's like a child to me so I wasn't waiting with blood in his vomit and called another vet some friends of ours use and recommend. They got me in for 12:20. When I called to cancel the 2:30 appointment the receptionist said at that point that she could have gotten me in right away. I said no need as I already had another appointment. This same receptionist just called me back to apologize and say she didn't know I wanted to get him in right away. I mentioned to her that I asked her specifically if 2:30 wasn't too long of a wait and she apologized again for the miscommunication.

(Rocky seems to possibly have acute gastritis - infected stomach and got some medicine and special food but his tail started wagging again a few minutes ago so I am optomistic.)

My question is - is that enough to switch vets over or am I being petty? No issues with the vet that couldn't get me in right away, but I only chose that vet in the first place because they could get me in right away at an earlier crisis point. This new vet has really long and flexible hours so it may be a better fit.

Any comments/opinions?

Thanks so much,
