I, the undersigned owner, or owner's authorized agent, of the above pet certify that I am over eighteen years of age. My pet will be undergoing general anesthesia/sedation and a surgical procedure. There are always certain risks associated with any operation, procedure, and use of anesthesia. Should some unexpected life-saving emergency care be required and the attending veterinarian is unable to reach me, the staff at this practice has my permission to provide such treatment and I agree to pay for such care. I accept that veterinary medicine is an inexact science and that no guarantee of successful treatment has been made
