Surgery Consent Form

I understand that during the performance of the foregoing procedures there are inherent risks and unforeseen conditions that may be revealed. If necessary, an extension of the foregoing procedures may be performed. Therefore, I hereby consent to and authorize the performance of such procedures deemed necessary and desirable by the veterinarian’s professional judgment. I also authorize the use of appropriate anesthetics and other medication, and I understand that hospital support personnel will be deemed necessary by the veterinarian. Although this facility attempts to minimize the risk involved during anesthesia, there is always risk in anesthetizing an animal. One way to lower risks involved with anesthesia is to have the “Pre-Anesthetic Blood Testing Option” (listed below) performed on the animal prior to surgery. I realize that there are inherent risks involved and results cannot be guaranteed.
