Pain medications will be administered to every pet undergoing surgery unless on contra-indicated medications. I, being responsible for the above pet, have the authority to grant you consent to receive, prescribe for, treat and/or operate on this pet. I understand that the doctor and staff will use all reasonable precaution against injury, escape and the death of my pet. I understand that all anesthesia involves some minimal risk to my pet, and I will not hold you liable or responsible in any manner whatsoever or under any circumstances in connection therewith as it is thoroughly understood that I assume all risks. I accept full financial responsibility for my pet. I am also aware that unforeseen events resulting from the procedure(s) will not relieve me from any obligation for all reasonable costs incurred regarding this animal. I understand and agree that Hope Animal Clinic is NOT responsible for any expenses I incur if I do not follow their post-operative surgical recommendations.

Before putting your pet under anesthesia, the veterinarian will perform a physical exam to identify any existing medical conditions that could complicate the procedure or compromise the health of your pet. Because the possibility exists that a physical exam alone will not identify all of your pet’s health problems, we strongly recommend that a surgical blood profile be performed. The fee is $95.00. This bloodwork can lead to early diagnosis of various health issues. Bloodwork and an IV Catheter are REQUIRED on any pet over 7 years of age. We also reserve the right to place and charge for a catheter on any pet if medically necessary. ($18.90)
