I understand that the use of some medications in the treatment of my animal constitutes “off label” use. This is defined as “actual or intended use of a drug in a manner that is not in accordance with the approved labeling” and in this instance describes use either in a species not listed on the labeling or for indications not listed on the labeling. Many human-approved drugs are commonly used in veterinary medicine even though they have not been approved in veterinary patients, because no species-specific approved product is available. Some medications have been approved for one species but not yet for another; again, they are often used for non-approved species because no species-specific product is available. AHO doctors only use non-approved products when anecdotal or empirical evidence has shown no danger.

Animal Hospital of Ovilla is to use all reasonable precautions against injury of my pet, but will not be held liable or responsible in any manner in connection therewith as it is thoroughly understood that I assume all risks.

I give permission and/or informed consent for the direct exchange of medical information with the AHO staff via telemdicine (including telephone, apps, video calls, email, and texting). I understand that the laws that protect privacy and the confidentiality of medical information also apply to telemedicine, and that no information obtained in the use of telemedicine which identifies me will be disclosed to other entities without my consent.

I hereby authorize the veterinarian to examine, prescribe for, or treat the above described pet(s).  I understand that no guarantee or assurance can be made as to the results that may be obtained. It is thoroughly understood that I assume all risks involved with any treatments, surgeries, or procedures. I assume responsibility for all charges incurred in the care of this/these animal(s).
