At 5 a.m. on the way out of the emergency room, the vet told us to come at 9 a.m. for an X-ray. Given that RTG's working hours are from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., I asked that we prefer to come between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m., since everyone rushes in at 9 a.m., so the wait is long. The vet told me that we don't need it, that it will work for us immediately in the morning to give a referral for urgent X-ray.
What really happened the other morning:
- there were at least 15 dogs in the clinic, again some emergency, some for therapy, some for referrals
- while the staff managed and solved the queue and over the queue whatever, we got the referral after 45 minutes
- the referral was written by another vet who did not know that the X-ray was urgent, so he only wrote a referral
- at the X-ray they admitted mainly everyone who came after us + those who came after us after we finally came with the referral, because it didn't say that it was urgent
Therefore, immediately ask for a referral for the next day and check if it says URGENT! This does not mean that you insist on urgent tests, if they really are not urgent, talk to the vet. Come an hour after opening hours when the crowd clears, if you're not in an emergency. It is better for a dog to sleep an hour longer in peace and in a warm place than in a waiting room. Take it from him pillow.
The X-ray sends the images and findings to the clinic, the clinic reads the report. So if you want to talk to the doctor about the images, then it's the doctor at the X-ray, not the clinic. This is good, because other changes can be seen in the pictures, so you will immediately get information about it first-hand.
Ask for a second opinion when you get the results, if it's not 100% for sure what you see, you have nothing to lose, and you don't want to be that case where they didn't interpret well or see what was happening to the dog, so they treated the wrong thing, and the dog died in the meantime from the right things.
The pictures are now in electronic form, so you don't get them automatically. On request, you get a burned CD and an application that opens the same images so that you can open them on your PC and print them as needed.
