Thanks everyone. First thing I did when I saw the red clots of vomit in Rocky's blood was google it. Google said that blood in vomit can sometimes be fatal so it is always a case to go to the vet immediately.
I was also being unfair when I called the lady a receptionist - she's been a vet tech or similar - gives advice over phone etc. - for many years. I think they were busy and her personality is that she is a fanatic for appointments. I have come in without an appointment for general questions or something and this lady has a big attitude as she says we really should have had an appointment. I think it's a personal quirk of hers and this time it got her into a bit of hot water as the vet may lose a client who is super preventitive and willing to pay for the best care for her dogs ... lots of money.
I think I may switch, my puppy needs spay surgery and this place has better hours for that and a bit of a better price too.
