Sounds like the receptionist got her training from Animal Planet.

my thought exactly!!!
Re: *sighs* at the Vets...
Do you not have any other options for vet care? I think the guy at your local quick lube bay knows more than that receptionist.

That's what I thought too! :D
In all seriousness, I would make it known to the VET that the receptionist is giving out medical advice. She has no business doing that. I would also point out to the vet that the information she gave was flat out wrong. If the vet doesn't think that's wrong advice, find a new vet.
Sorry you have to deal with this - I know the feeling all too well. I am fortunate to have a good exotics vet now. Only downside is that I have a 45min drive to get to her. But I'll take it because she's GOOD. ;)

So I go in and they say oh Im sorry the herp vet went home earlier today :confusd: annnnnnnd then another vet comes to the waiting room and asks me if they can run a ovum test on him free of office visit charge :O ummmm lady did you hear what you just said...ovum on him
That's because all snakes are asexual, duh. I can't believe you wouldn't know that.

And that downright pisses me off. You made an APPOINTMENT with the reptile vet. If he HAD to leave early (and there are valid reasons for that, so that in itself isn't the problem), they should have called you as soon as possible to inform you. Ridiculous. Find a new vet - and tell your old vet why you're leaving.
And while I rage about the above, I am :rofl: my head off - didn't know guys had ovum........... :D

I'm in shock and awe that a vet would do that. Lousy vet.
Re: *sighs* at the Vets...
Omg....sounds like that vets only wanted ur money! Whats really sad is that we try to do right by our pet reptiles by taking them to the vets, and scraping together what little money we have for their treatment....only to have that bs happen!! What a damn shame. :(

Re: *sighs* at the Vets...
I am SOOOO SOOOOO glad to have a wonderful herp vet close to my house. I would never return to a clinic that treated my the way they treated you. Yes I have made appointments that had to be rescheduled at the last minute but at least the vets office called me and not gave me the run around when I showed up. Find a new Vet even if you have to drive that place sounds like a bunch of quacks.
