vet with late hours?

[mermaidcafe.livejournal.com]

I made an appt. to take my cat to his vet, Revere Pet Clinic. He's having problems with his gums and teeth and in a lot of pain. When I showed up for my appt., I found out that there was an error and my appt. didn't get recorded in the schedule and the vet had already left.

Anyway, I made him an appt. for two days from now, but he's in pain and I really don't want him to be. I think he just needs antibiotics. I can't afford to pay some huge emergency surcharge. Are there any places that are open late? Or are there any vets here willing to work on the black market?

It was the Revere Pet Clinic on Pleasant St. I don't know any of the vets' names but they all seem to be Russian ladies.

Is that the same one? If so, I'll rethink using them. I only used them because I got my cat from Kitty Connection and that's the one they use, and they gave me a coupon for his first check-up.

Oh, no, mine is on the VFW Parkway. Maybe Revere's just not a fantastic place for pets. =P The vet himself at R-WVC is really fantastic, it's just the office staff that can't seem to get their acts together.
I take my babies to the North Shore Animal Clinic in Lynn now.
