I have read and fully understand this surgery consent form.
I authorize anesthesia and surgery for my pet, as described above. The nature and risks of this procedure have been explained to me. I understand that some risks always exist with anesthesia and surgery, and I am encouraged to discuss any concerns I have discussed these risks with the hospital’s medical staff before the procedure is initiated. Additionally, I authorize River Run Animal Hospital to perform any diagnostic or medical treatment as deemed necessary for any unforeseen medical or surgical complications if one should arise. While River Run Animal Hospital provides the highest quality of anesthetic monitoring, dentistry, and surgical services, I completely understand the possibility of unforeseen complications that may occur during any associated anesthetic, dentistry, or surgical procedure. I fully acknowledge and understand these medical risks. I recognize that the veterinarians and hospital staff will do all that is necessary to minimize such risks. I will hold harmless River Run Animal Hospital, the veterinarians, or any hospital staff member liable for any complications that may or should arise in my pet’s medical treatment and care. I understand that the hospital is not liable for any lost or damaged personal property (leashes, collars, etc.) that are left in the hospital.
