I have been informed that there are certain risks and complications associated with sedation, anesthesia, and/or any operation/procedure and that the risks/complications have been explained to me. 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. I authorize the use of appropriate anesthesia and pain relief medication as needed before, during or after the procedure. I have been informed that there are risks associated with the use of any medication and/or surgery and I authorize the staff of this hospital to perform the procedure(s) listed above, as well as those deemed necessary to treat life-threatening emergencies.

The patented polymer is biologically inert and has been clinically proven to significantly reduce the formation of plaque and calculus in dogs.

As with any procedure requiring general and/or local anesthesia, there are certain risks that serious complications or even death may result. To minimize the risk of such occurrences, for the safety of your pet, our doctors STRONGLY recommend pre-anesthetic bloodwork in order to assure proper organ function, clotting ability, detect anemia or infection.* This field is required.Please select ONE of the following: (REQUIRED to CHOOSE ONE):
Same-day bloodwork: CBC, chem15, electrolytes only
I brought my pet to DVC no more than 48 hrs prior for full blood panel (CBC, chem17, lytes + thyroid) (does not include specialty add-ons such as pancreatitis or cardio)
I understand the risks, that my pet could have underlying/unknown medical condition/infection and I DECLINE pre-anesthetic bloodwork against the advice of my veterinarian
13
The complete blood count (CBC) is a much more sensitive indicator of disease than physical exam. White blood cells (WBCs) and platelets can change within hours due to acute infectious diseases. Abnormal glucose levels can increase anesthetic risk and differ markedly between fasted vs non-fasted, breeds, age & sick vs healthy patients. Evaluating electrolytes, hematocrit and total protein in fasted patients is essential for anesthesia monitoring, minimizing the risk of arrhythmias, hypotension, & facilitating patient recovery.
14
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, no guarantees have been made regarding the outcome of this treatment(s)/procedure(s). 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 and I agree to pay for all services related to these procedures/treatments regardless of the outcome. I have read and understand the nature of the treatments and procedures being done today, I understand this authorization and hereby accept and agree to the terms of the consent for treatment. I agree that, in being fully responsible for my pet, I will ensure that either I or someone I authorize will pick up my pet during business hours. If, in the event of an emergency or I am unable to get to DVC to pick up my pet before closing I agree that my pet will be boarded at DVC at my expense until I or my authorized representative can pick up my pet.* This field is required.

DVC IS OPEN 7:30-5:30 M-F, 8-12 SAT. PLEASE ENSURE YOU ARRANGE PICKUP FOR YOUR PET BEFORE 5:30 as we do not have staff available after-hours.

Pick up is typically between 4:00-5:00, and please be prepared to be here for at least 10 minutes for discharge of the patient. If patient is not picked up by closing time, the pet will stay overnight at $100 per night OR will be transferred to an Emergency clinic for hospitalization at clients expense.
