SURGERY AUTHORIZATION

I hereby authorize Green Cove Pet Hospital to perform the indicated procedures and associated anesthesia. I understand that unforeseen conditions may require an extension of a planned procedure. I hereby consent to and authorize the performance of such procedures or as are necessary and advisable in the professional judgement of the veterinarian. I am aware of and have been advised to the nature of the procedures and the risks that are involved, including death. I realize that results cannot be guaranteed.

Pre-Surgical Testing

As veterinary medicine has advanced, we now have the capacity to properly evaluate {NAME}’s ability to utilize and metabolize drugs and anesthetic agents. The detection of underlying problems before surgery is even more important since {NAME} cannot tell us how they feel. The test we require evaluate the major organ functions and other common problems that may not be noted or seen visually. While performance of these tests helps decrease anesthetic and surgical risk, it cannot detect all potential health problems or eliminate all risk. They do not guarantee a cure.

If your pet is pregnant or in heat at the time of procedure, there will be an additional charge of $60.

All dogs MUST be current on Rabies, DHPP/DRCP, Bordetella, and have a negative fecal. All cats MUST be current on Rabies and FVRCP.

Due to the fact we cannot control the flea and tick population outdoors, we highly recommend monthly topical flea treatment. If fleas and ticks are found on your pet, they will be treated at the owner’s expense with Capstar and a topical flea/tick treatment if necessary. This also applies to intestinal parasites upon exam.
