Sorry, this will be a long post!
So Herbie hurt his toe/foot yesterday, i called the emergency vets and it was agreed that i would take him up to the vets today.
So at 8.30am i call for an appointment after my work.....receptionist says 'if his toe is broken he needs to be seen earlier than that - is there not someone else who could bring him up, if he needs an xray then he will have to be here early afternoon at the latest'
So thats fine, i arrange my gran to go and pick him up in a taxi and take him up. I phone the vets back and say....'can my gran drop him off, and i will pick him up when i come home from work' They say ' No, it has to be you or your partner that brings him up, we cant see him if it is your gran'
So i cancel gran....
Meanwhile Chris is on the way home from T in the Park, so i get a hold of him and my sister, and they say the will take him up, i call for an appointment, get 11.30, and ask if that is still time for an xray......receptionist says yes, thats fine.
Chris & Fiona get Herbie to the appointment, the Vet said that it isn't badly broken or anything, but feels a toe loose, so wants to xray......but he cant xray today as there is no space!!!!!!!!!!!! So he has to go back up at 8.30am tomorrow. Then the receptionist tells them that Herbie is to have no food from the night before!!!! Idiots!
I just called back irate. I mean, the receptionist speaks to me first thing like i am a bad mother, then i mess about arranging an early appt. for them to tell me to come back.
I now really have a sore head with it all.
So lets just hope that wee Herbie's toe ends up being ok after all the kefuffle!
