Ah! The joys of belonging to a corporate vet practice.
It's 9:50pm and we're sitting in the waiting room of an emergency vet clinic in the city over an hour drive from home.
We've been over an hour so far with no idea how much longer this will be. We'll be paying the big bucks to get Badger seen at the emergency clinic because our own vet has been at a conference and can't see their own patients. The exam fee is $180+ and then they'll 'draw up a plan of treatment and see where we go from there.'. Oh. And there will be a long wait because... It's an emergency clinic.. 5, 6, 7 hours?
😖
Badger's not that sick, she's not critical, it's just not advised to wait as it could become worse.
And I just heard someone saying that they had paid $30,000 on treatment for their Guinea pig.
??? What can you say?

Meanwhile we wait.
