    Try calling another vet in your area. If it is something serious I would not wait to have your puppy seen. Animal hospitals are a great resource as well, although they can be a bit pricey.

    I am not a vet but if you're that concerned or unsure then you should probably at least call another one and see what they think...

    I'm just a vet student, but if you think it needs to see a vet you should find one that is open today. Kinda like with a kid, you always need a back up Dr just in case.

    Aww man! What a pickle. I hope it's nothing serious but I'd still take him to the vet that can see you later. I love animals and treat them like part of my family. :)

    Yeah, I'm the same way. I ended up just calling her vet and getting her checked out in a few minutes. Thank God for that emergency line!

    She's ok..thankfully. Well, she was spayed on last tuesday, then chewed her stitches out. Took her back to vet and she got staples..she chewed them out too! We tried everything, e collar, bitter orange, muzzle..grrr. She's fine now though lol
