"I walked into the vets and it was completely empty, I thought oh thank God, they'll see me. I said 'I'm really sorry I'm late', there was still five minutes left on the appointment and I said I've been trying to phone, but nobody was answering the phone."
"There was no one there in the waiting room. I was shocked. I said are you sure you can't see him because he's really not very well.
