My personal opinion (in no way, shape, or form am I trying to say that everyone else must think this way) is that the receptionist is just a dingbat. I can't remember, but if you didn't say that you needed an emergent appointment, you may do that in the future; let them know that this is an emergency. I definitely would have either pushed harder for a right away appointment, or I would have called another vet - throwing up blood shouldn't be taken lightly, and the receptionist really should know better! If you still feel comfortable with your vet, I wouldn't say to switch right away...unless you feel the switch is necessary because of the longer hours and stuff. I wouldn't read too much into the miscommunication. Was your baby ok? I sure hope so! Wishing him a speedy recovery!
