The only thing I can suggest for you or others who may be in the same predicament:
When the tech asks you if youi gave it some time: you reply: Yes, I've been watching him limp around for a half hour. He is weightbearing/nonweightbearing on X leg. And he's in pain.
When they say they could give you an appointment at 3:40pm: You reply: Don't you see emergencies here? That is why I specifically came to you. He needs to be examined by the vet.
If that doesn't get you in: Go to a different vet.
Hope he makes out allright. |
And well, I'm onery (Texas word maybe...means stubborn and irritating
) and I would have sat right down in that waiting room until a vet saw me. If longer than say fifteen minutes went by, I'd start talking to my pet loudly and telling him how I felt about an emergency vet who wouldn't see him.
You're just a nicer person than I am.
