I understand that anesthesia may be used and that with anesthesia there is always a risk, although minimal, of an allergic reaction or even death of the animal. A brief pre-surgical exam will be done on all animals prior to surgery to assess surgery risk. However, it is YOUR responsibility to notify us of any additional health concerns that you are aware of. Any animal found to be at risk for surgery will not be operated on until the owner has been notified of the concern. The nature of the surgery/ procedure has been explained to me satisfactorily. I assume all financial responsibility for all services rendered and payment will be expected at the time of the patient’s release.

Pre-Surgical Bloodwork ($18): This doctor recommended bloodwork is for all animals. It tests four levels in your pet’s blood and will be done prior to sedation. It not only helps us better assess anesthesia risk, but will also help us monitor your pet’s health while they are with us. This bloodwork evaluates: kidney function, red blood cell level, blood protein, and blood sugar levels. Check one or the other.
