A Little Bird Googled Me
Jerk, USA, Vet | Healthy | April 2, 2018
Me: “Thank you for calling [Veterinary Clinic]. This is [My Name]. How can I help you?”
Client: “I have a sick bird. Can I make an appointment?”
Me: “I’m sorry; we only see dogs and cats here.”
Client: “It’s not my bird; it’s wild and it flew into my window.”
Me: “Unfortunately, we don’t have any of the proper equipment to treat birds, and most of our staff doesn’t have that training.”
Client: “I know I should take it to the wildlife rescue, but they don’t accept animals after 4:00 pm. Can’t you help me?”
Me: “We don’t treat birds here, but let me check with the doctor to see what she recommends.”
(The doctor tells me the name of another clinic that treats exotic animals.)
Me: “Ma’am, try calling [Pet and Bird Hospital]. They’re pretty close to us; I can get you their number.”
Client: “Oh, I already have it; they showed up right after you in the Google results.”
Me: *bangs head on wall*
