You would think that since it is an emergency vet number and everything that they should be able to see the pet regardless of the time.
Last summer my son got a Tea cup Chihuahua and it wound up dying from low blood sugar complications, since we had no clue about the signs or symptoms of hypoglacemia in animals, I force fed him and got him in to the vet as soon as we finnally got ahold of one and he gave him like 2 shots and then hospitalized him and he died at the hospital 2 days later. The vet said that he could have saved him if we would have brought him in right away and we were like we called your answering service at like 2 in the morning and then again at 8 am and came in right away from there so if you blame blame yourself. Seriously if vets are going to have after hours at all then they need to be willing to see the animal then not 6 hours later.
