Estimate acknowledgement
You were provided an estimate for your pet’s procedure today. If optional services are listed on the estimate, please let the front office staff know if you want them performed.
Dental Extractions
Dental disease often occurs below the gum line and the extent of the disease may not be detected until your pet is under anesthesia and full mouth radiographs have been performed. If we determine the need for additional procedures, how would you like us to proceed?
Intravenous Fluids
All animals undergoing anesthesia will receive an intravenous catheter. A small patch of hair will be shaved on your pet’s leg for catheter placement. Intravenous fluids help maintain normal blood pressure during anesthetic which allows all vital organs to receive the blood they require to function properly.
Anesthesia
Most healthy animals tolerate general anesthesia without issue. Those who do suffer side-effects or complications typically have mild, transient symptoms that are easily managed. Anesthesia-related deaths can occur in rare circumstances but your veterinary team will take every precaution during the procedure including close monitoring of your pet’s vital signs. Certain animals have a higher anesthetic risk due to their breed, size, health, or age. Your veterinarian will discuss the appropriate surgical plan based on these factors.
In the event of an emergency, I select the following resuscitation option:
*Additional costs will be incurred in the event of life sustaining procedures*
Owner Release
I have read and understand the nature of the procedure/surgery and the risks involved. I realize results cannot be guaranteed. Advances in anesthesia and surgery have made routine procedures relatively safe with few complications. Nevertheless, problems, even death, can arise due to pre-existing conditions not evident during routine pre-surgical exams.
I agree to be responsible for payment in full of all charges incurred for procedures, treatments, and testing performed on my pet, and acknowledges that payment is due at the time the patient is discharged. I further agree in the case of non-payment, any finance, collection, and/or attorney fees will be paid by me.
