Receptionist: Hello, thank you for calling. How may I help you?
Caller: Hi, I was wondering if you had prednisone?
Receptionist: Yes…it’s a prescription medication though. Do you need a refill?
Caller: Well, I just called PetStore to ask if they carried it over the counter and they said no.
Receptionist: Are you a client here?
Caller: Huh? Oh, no. I got some from my regular vet for my dog because he had a platelet problem and I ran out. Can I get some more?
Receptionist: You would need to be seen by our veterinarian first.
Caller: Is it bad when they bleed out of their nose?
Receptionist: Yes. Yes, it is. Please go see a vet right now.
PSA of the day: When a pet with a platelet disorder bleeds from any orifice, do not pass Go, proceed directly to your vet. Thank you.
Poor doggy!
Makes you wonder…and yes, poor dog!
man, that makes me so sad!! poor little pumpkin 🙁
Where is that person’s common sense? I am completely flabbergasted!
Who wants to bet me she has been out of the meds for a while, and only called now because he is bleeding out.
Honestly – get to an emergency vet – STAT! Why would this person not call his/her regular vet!?
I would be crapping bricks if my dog was bleeding out of her nose. Why the heck would you just be sitting there DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT?? Arrgh, I hate to hear that this kind of stuff happens so often 🙁
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Poor baby. where is this persons common sense ??
