Lost coggins...vet won't get back to me. Anything else I can do?

We didn't get coggins done the way we normally do...we told the barn owner to wait but she didn't and had them done when the vet was out one time. Not a big deal, but she had them sent to her house and handed them over a week later or so. It was enough to throw off my normal "coggins routine" and instead of filing them as soon as I received them in the mail, they were left on the table. Things have been crazy around here, and long story short, they got thrown away.

I googled what to do, other people who have lost coggins said to call the vet. So I did that a week ago, and left a message. She never called back. I called again last Wednesday and still no response, I know it's a good number. I gave her plenty of time since I know this is a busy time of year, and I guess I'm hesitating to keep calling because this vet has a terrible bedside manner and is known to be really rude so I guess that's why I hesitate to keep trying (I didn't want to deal with her in the first place, but that wasn't really my call this time).

Is there anything else I can do, other than to keep calling her? I live in Michigan, if it makes a difference. Is there someone else from a state department or something that I could try contacting?

In general, most states administer their own EIA & Coggins tests. The certificate for the negative test is produced by the state. Here is the agency to contact and attempt to get a copy of your results mailed directly to you.
Hope it works!!
