Respect your veterinarian's time away from the office.

PP of above here. That was in response to the poster who accused OP of hiding info about testers being an existing client.

You have their payment info.

Horse barn owner here. NO!!! They have no right to his/her time, for whatever fee.

Ugh, OP, I'm sorry. Some people have no sense of boundaries. And these days there is such easy online access to vets 24-7 on several platforms for folks that feel they need to talk to someone but don't necessarily need to rush off and spend $1k at the emergency vet.

I'm good friends with my pets' vet, and I would never text her late at night about my pets. In fact I would never text her about my pets at all. I will call her at work with questions -- but I pay for the clinic's loyalty program to have same-day phone access to a vet.

Oh, and I'm a lawyer -- wet tend to get late-ass calls from folks with no boundaries too. And it's never even an emergency, most recently it was a work acquaintance I don't even like wanting to get out of a lease. Sigh.
