Surgery Consent Form

FOR ROUTINE SPAYS AND NEUTERS, PAIN CARE MANAGEMENT, FLUIDS, ANESTHESIA MONITORING, POST-OPERATIVE THERAPEUTIC LASER AND PRE-ANESTHETIC BLOODWORK ARE INCLUDED IN PRICE.

Our Doctors recommend doing all of the "optional" pre-anesthesia testing. These tests are important to have a good baseline on file for any future illnesses and to catch any current abnormalities.

ECG checks the electrical impulses of the heart. This is submitted and then checked by a cardiologist who gives a report by email and recommends or verifies anesthesia being used. $91.

* Radiographs(x-rays) show internally the condition of the heart and lungs. $121 a 50% discount.

* Urinalysis add-on to screen for urinary tract infections and other diseases, and to evaluate the kidney's ability to concentrate urine and filter anesthetic agents from the bloodstream. $87 a 50% discount.

While undergoing these procedures your pet will receive anesthetic drugs that prevent pain. Because we care about your pet’s comfort and strongly believe that pain relief is important, additional pain medications will be provided, as needed, to control the level of your pet’s discomfort after surgery and during its recovery.

* A Capstar will be given to your pet to ensure and to control fleas, unless your pet is on Bravecto, Nexgard, or Simparica. If your pet is excessively soiled, a bath will be given prior to surgery at an additional expense to ensure a clean surgical site. Longer and/or matted hair will be an additional $5.00 to $10.00 charge.

* During dental procedures, it may be necessary for extractions and/or antibiotics. These are additional charges.
