To me, emergency is pretty well defined. The ferret with white gums
and nose that was flea infested was an emergency situation. A ferret
vomiting with signs of a possible blockage or a ferret with a urinary
blockage is an emergency. If one has to wake the vet in the middle
of the night, or rush to the emergency clinic in the wee hours, it's
an emergency. If you can make an appointment for a few days from now
without worry, it's not an emergency.
Not to be difficult, but I don't fully understand all of what you're
saying in the quote below.
