Surgery Consent Form

For the safety and comfort of our patients, and for the peace of mind of our clients, we have a minimum set of requirements before, during, and after anesthesia.  We offer additional care above and beyond our minimum standards for those cases requiring more, as outlined below.  All of the costs of this care will be fully outlined in the treatment plan before services are rendered.  While we attempt to be accurate it does not include the cost of unforeseen circumstances and all efforts will be made to contact you if this occurs.

For safety and comfort, we require the following:

• A current examination no more than one year prior to the procedure
• Blood test to determine underlying problems for all patients
• IV fluids for stabilization under anesthesia and support during recovery
• Medication will be given before and after the procedure that lessens the perception of pain
• Treatment on sight of fleas, flea dirt or ticks, at owner’s expense
