Anesthesia & Risks

By completing and signing this document, I understand that during the performance of the foregoing procedure or surgery, unforeseen conditions may be revealed that necessitate an extension of the procedure or surgery, or of different procedures than those set forth above. Therefore, I hereby consent to, and authorize, the performance procedures or surgeries as deemed necessary by the veterinarian. I have been advised as to the nature of the procedure(s) or surgery and the risks involved. I understand that results cannot be guaranteed. I understand that Lafayette Veterinary Care Center takes every precaution to reduce the risks involved with sedation, anesthesia and surgery for all pets. This includes repeating a physical examination, pre-anesthetic blood testing to evaluate your pet’s internal organ function and immune system, weighing a precisely calculating medications, placing an intravenous catheter and initiating fluid therapy, and monitoring them under anesthesia each manually (a person) and with anesthetic equipment. Although these precautions are known to significantly reduce the risks of anesthesia, some risks do still exist. Should any significant findings be found during your pet’s pre-anesthetic exam or blood-testing, we will call you immediately. Please remain available by phone and list a primary and secondary method of contact below.

Please initial for acknowledgement

I wish the staff to perform CPR (Resuscitation) on my pet if my pet suffers respiratory or cardiac arrest. I understand that my pet may not respond to CPR or may respond initially and then suffer another arrest later. I understand that my pet may die despite CPR. I understand that if my pet survives because of CPR,he/she may have brain damage. The estimate for initial CPR is $100 to $300. The estimate for the first 24 to 48 hours of veterinary care after CPR depends partially on pre-existing injury or illness

I DO NOT want CPR performed on my pet. I elect to have DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) orders placed on my pet’s record OR I elect that the veterinary staff stop the initial attempts at CPR that may have been started while I was being informed of the condition of my pet and my options.

Home Care & Pain Control

Pain medications will be provided, as needed, to control the level of your animal’s discomfort both after surgery and during their recovery at home.

Following surgery, many pets instinctively lick and groom their incision sites. To prevent this and allow optimal healing, we recommend an E-Collar (cone collar) OR a Surgical Suit to prevent this. Please choose one of the following:

In the event I cannot be reached during my pet's dental, I elect to proceed as follows:

Is there any other pertinent information you’d like to share with us? i.e. illnesses or symptoms your pet is displaying, other services you are interested in receiving?

*** Please note that any procedure that is not canceled outside of 24 hours or is a no-show will be charged a fee of $105.
