I love my vet but his new appointment process is frustrating

[Siwsan]

For decades it was a 'drop in' only, except for surgeries. I'd get to the parking lot about 20 minutes before they open.

Now it's by appointment but the process is this: You check in via their website and register. Sounds easy? Well, they open at 8 and registration doesn't open until 7:50. And it's just the day's schedule. No making appointments for the next day or week.

Fortunately I live about 5 minutes away so I can get my registration done, hopefully for 8 or close to, and be ready to head out the door. Since a lot of people are probably up north for a 4 day weekend, I should be able to get her in SOMETIME today. They are open until noon, tomorrow, but I worry that will be too late.

This is for a sweet feral kitten that was rejected by the mom. She's the last of 3 sisters and isn't doing well. I think it's the horrific flea situation. I've been up for 2 nights with her. I've given her a de wormer and gotten her bathed and cleaned of fleas (it was horrible) but she's VERY lethargic and has little appetite. I have been able to give her water, a little Pedialyte and replacement milk and she has licked a little pate off of my finger. She did pee last night and she can still get around but just short bumbles.

I'm being realistic about the outcome of this visit but that she's lasted this long gives me a sliver of hope.

Yes, I have a savior complex.
