I authorize the use of appropriate anesthetics and other medications. I understand that anesthesia does present a risk to my pet's life, and I accept that risk as a part of the procedure(s). To help reduce the risks involved with anesthesia, Garland Animal Clinic recommends a pre-surgical blood screen to evaluate your pet's internal status. This test checks kidney and liver function (these systems metabolize the anesthesia), a complete blood count (this would alert us to any infection, clotting problems, or anemia), and blood glucose level (blood sugar). (Additional Fees Apply)

In an effort to provide your pet with the highest quality surgical care, we offer surgical laser as an option for all surgeries. The surgical laser cuts and cauterizes any nerve endings and blood vessels during the procedure. This technology makes surgery much easier on your pet by: decreasing pain, decreasing bleeding, decreasing swelling and improving healing. (Additional Fees Apply)

*Only applicable if your pet is getting a lump or tumor removed. We recommend histopathology on all lumps or tumors removes in order to identify the type of tumor and level of aggressiveness. These results typically take about 5 - 7 days to get back. (Additional Fees Apply)

Is There Anything Else We Should Know About Your Pet?

If yes, please tell us more. If no, please note N/A

I verify that I am the owner (or authorized agent for the owner) of the above named pet and authorize treatment of my pet to be performed by Garland Animal Clinic. I authorize the use of anesthesia and other medication as deemed necessary by the veterinarian and understand that hospital personnel will be employed in the procedure as directed by the veterinarian.

I have been advised as to the nature of this procedure to be performed and the risks involved. No guarantees have been made regarding the outcome or cure. I understand that there is always a risk associated with any sedation or anesthesia episode, even in apparently healthy animals, and have discussed my concerns with the veterinarian. The veterinarian has provided me the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers regarding the procedure. This risk includes serious bodily injury or death. I understand that it may be necessary to provide medical and/or surgical procedures which are not anticipated for the safety or care of my pet. I hereby consent to and authorize the performance of such altered and/or additional procedures as are necessary in the veterinarian’s professional judgment. I accept responsibility for any result in additional charges.

Initial

I agree to be responsible for all charges incurred while my pet is in the care of this facility and understand payment is due at the time my pet is released from the hospital. I understand no staff will be attending to my pet overnight (pets needing special care may be referred to a 24 hour hospital).

In the event of an unforeseen emergency, we will attempt to reach you without delay. Please know that we will take every precaution to ensure that your pet is safe and healthy enough to undergo their procedure today. Any known risks will be discussed with you. However, very rarely, emergencies do happen and we want to know your preference if no one can be reached. Please check your preference:

I acknowledge my choice regarding resuscitation choice for my pet as noted above.
