[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is bananas. OP is relaying a scary experience that we should all be aware of as pet owners in the area. Yes, a lot of us adopted pets during the pandemic. My dog was living under a truck... is it better if we don't give dogs loving homes because it's hard to find veterinary care? I'm sorry this happened to you, OP, and I hope your dog is doing ok.[/quote]

The point is that other animals were ALSO experiencing emergencies. OP wants us to believe that she was "shut out" due to malice or laziness, but in reality the emergency vets were at capacity.

They can't bend space time to service OP.

So, yes, it's sad and frustrating and eye-opening but OP's tone sucks. [/quote]

Agree.  As a person who has had 3 animals experience bowel obstruction surgery over the years, some are far more “emergency” than others.  What OP describes would be a drop off at my vet, and he would get to it when the more acute issues were under control, prob not surgical but needs to be checked.  Could be many hours.  I have seen the other kind too...that looks very different, like vets waiting for your arrival and have the surgical table prepped level...the animal is much more sick.  And before anyone gets panties in a wad because I have seen this a few times, I have a farm that currently houses 50+ animals, and have for 40 years, so I have seen a lot.[/quote]

Thank you for this.  As a new pet owner with a puppy (first dog we've ever owned), how do we know when it's a real emergency versus something that will pass on its own? [/quote]
