So I called my vet's office about 3-4 weeks ago to discuss changes in Marge's behavior. He called back that night, we spoke for maybe 3 minutes and he told me to call him back in a couple of weeks.
I called this afternoon around 3:30, spoke to the receptionist. I explained to her that the doctor had told me to update him about Marge, so I was wondering if he could give me a call.
She seemed hesitant to comply, saying.. "Well, how is she?"
I guess if I said "she's fine" it really wouldn't have warranted him calling back, but I found the question a little rude. No offense, but I don't want to talk to YOU, I want to talk to the vet.
So I explained to her that she's better, but I still had some questions for him.
She said she'd give a message.. but here it is, 9 PM at night and I haven't heard anything.
I know emergencies happen, things come up, I understand that.. but this isn't the first time that one of my calls have gone unanswered.
I'm not a pain in the butt with my vet, I am more than happy to take my pets in for appointments when it is warranted, but I am slightly annoyed with how they treat phone calls.
I know the second I suggest hip X-rays for agility he's going to tell me they aren't necessary.. I've brought up getting blood work done numerous times, he doesn't think it's necessary.. I don't know if I need to be more forward with what I want or what.. he really is a nice guy.
