I have the authority and I release my pet, Patient Name , to the care of Groves Veterinary Clinic. I realize that results cannot be guaranteed and I assume all risks of treatment and failure to follow post operative care recommendations including cage rest and the use of an e-collar. Without an e-collar, your pet is capable of scratching, biting and traumatizing the treatment site impeding recovery and possibly leading to secondary infection and the need for additional treatment at an additional cost to you. An e-collar must be worn until full recovery is achieved.
