Kansas State Univ. Emer. Hotline problems (not an emer.) I had someone call Kansas State last night over a flea medication reaction (the dog is fine now...). She called and there was just some automated thing that kept talking. She called back later and they didn't get back to her til this morning (a little late for an emergency). She was willing to stay on hold for awhile, so I don't know how long she waited. I'm sure it's a good service when they answer but please don't count on it. |
Sorry to hear about your bad experience. I'm sure there are great emergency places all over ... we use Northwood Animal Hospital in Tallahassee, FL. We use them for regular vetinary services also since all records are in-house and they're 24/7/365 If you can find a reliable, knowledgeable 24 hour clinic --- get a magnet and put their # on it on the fridge. |
This person uses the same vet as I do. They are a 24 hour clinic but when you call in the middle of the night you have to talk to a tech. The techs always say to bring the dog in. That's fine but not necessary. I figured if she called somewhere out of state they couldn't say that they wanted to see the dog.:) It wasn't really bad enough for that. |
That's really odd that she couldn't get through to KSU VMTH. I used to work at the emergency desk there so I'm very familiar with how it all operates to say the least :p When someone calls after hours, a recording does come on explaining that the clinic is closed, but if its an emergency, stay on the line. There must have been a glitch in the line that evening or something because you should ALWAYS be able to get through...the emergency desk is staffed 24/7 no matter the weather or holiday! PLEASE don't let this one bad experience keep you from calling K-State in the future. |
