Growth Removal
If your pet is here for a growth removal, please describe the location(s).
If your pet is here for a growth removal: We encourage all growths removed to be submitted for biopsy. This allows the doctor to determine the proper diagnosis and provide proper treatment options for your pet. If I decline this procedure, I consent to not holding the doctor liable for any adverse events that may occur as a result of this.

I understand that there are certain risks and complications associated with sedation, anesthesia, and/or any operation/procedure. I further understand that during the course of the operations or procedures, unforeseen conditions may arise that may necessitate the performance of additional procedures deemed necessary by the veterinarian. I am encouraged to discuss any concerns I have about these risks with the attending veterinarian before the procedure is initiated.

The nature of these operations or procedures has been explained to me and I understand what will be done. I am aware that the practice of veterinary medicine is not an exact science and, thus, there are no guarantees for successful treatment. I have been encouraged and given the opportunity to discuss any questions I may have regarding my pet's medical care and my questions have been answered to my satisfaction. I accept that my financial obligations remain regardless of the outcome.

Pre-surgical Bloodwork Acknowledgment: We encourage all patients undergoing any procedure involving anesthesia to have pre-anesthetic bloodwork. This bloodwork gives the doctors additional information regarding your pet's ability to metabolize and safely recover from anesthesia. This bloodwork also allows the doctors to determine if your pet has an underlying condition that may inhibit the ability to recover safely. If I decline this bloodwork, I understand that the doctors may not be able to intervene appropriately should my pet have an adverse anesthetic event.

My pet has already had blood work performed within the last 30 days.
I decline to have presurgical bloodwork for my pet and understand the risks with anesthesia.
To allow for optimal treatment, all hospitalized patients are assigned a CPR or DNR code regardless of health, age, or elected procedure. These codes enable the medical team of Sweetbriar Veterinary Clinic to carry out your wishes if it should become necessary during or following an emergency or anesthetic procedure.Should my pet arrest (stops breathing or heart stops) while at Sweetbriar Veterinary Clinic, I authorize one of the following options. Please initial only one of the following:
*
CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation): By choosing CPR, I authorize basic life saving efforts and procedures deemed to be appropriate by the medical team of Sweetbriar Veterinary Clinic in the event that my pet should experience cardiopulmonary and/or respiratory arrest. This involves but is not limited to chest compressions, intubation, oxygen therapy, intravenous fluids, and medications. CPR does not resolve any underlying diseases and the outcome is uncertain. Animals that have survived cardiopulmonary and/or respiratory arrest and have been successfully resuscitated are deemed critical and unstable. I understand that Sweetbriar Veterinary Clinic will not be held responsible for any injuries that may occur from the actions associated with cardiopulmonary resuscitation.Should the Sweetbriar Veterinary Clinic team be unable to reach me within 10 minutes after the initiation of CPR procedures, and after the veterinarian determines that further resuscitation efforts are no longer warranted, CPR procedures will cease.Having requested such emergency procedures, I agree to be held financially responsible for all services provided to my pet while the medical team of Sweetbriar Veterinary Clinic pursue treatment, regardless of my pet’s recovery or survival.
DNR (Do Not Resuscitate): By choosing DNR, I do not authorize further medical intervention should my pet suffer from cardiopulmonary and/or respiratory arrest. No life saving measures will be attempted and my pet will pass away.
Cold Laser Therapy Consent: I would like my pet to receive laser therapy to their incision after surgery. Cold Laser therapy helps to speed up healing time and reduce pain and inflammation in the incision.
