Dental Cleaning and/or Extractions:

A dental exam under anesthesia includes x-rays, checking the teeth for mobility, probing the gums for pockets, and checking for broken or diseased teeth. Based on the results of my pet's dental exam, the attending veterinarian will decide if any teeth must be extracted to improve the overall health of my pet.

I understand that the extent of the dental disease cannot be assessed until the patient is anesthetized and a thorough dental exam/cleaning is performed. I understand that diseased teeth can lead to heart, kidney, liver disease, and/or abscesses if left untreated.

Anesthetic/Surgical Risks:

Despite the best efforts of the doctors and supporting staff at Maywood Veterinary Clinic, no anesthetic procedure is without risk, even in apparently healthy animals. These risks may include but are not limited to hemorrhage, hypothermia, decreased heart rate or respiratory rate, post-operative complications (i.e. surgical site breakdown, implant failure/rejection, secondary infections), and even death.

I understand these risks and that the doctors and supporting staff of Maywood Veterinary Clinic will do their best to minimize said risks.

While I accept that all procedures will be performed to the best of the abilities of the staff at this hospital, I understand that no guarantee or warranty has been made regarding the results that may be achieved. I also assume full responsibility for any additional expenses incurred after the surgical procedure is performed, such as follow up radiographs, re-check physical exams and additional surgery due to post-op complications. These are more likely to occur when there is a failure to comply with the aftercare instructions.

Life Saving Efforts: I understand that despite the best efforts of the doctors and supporting staff, anesthesia and surgical procedures involve the risk of complications, injury, or death. No warranty or guarantee exists regarding the results or cure. Please tell us how you would like us to proceed in the event of an emergency PLEASE SELECT ONLY ONE OPTION:*

Please perform CPR and administer medications as needed. CPR means that you authorize establishing an airway for your pet, breathing for your pet, external chest compressions, and the adminsitration of drugs and fluids to try and establish circulations and respiration. I understand that even if CPR is successful in restoring my pet's life, it may not allow for my pet to regain his/her normal mental and/or physical health. If CPR is successful, patients may require 24 hours or more of ongoing hospitalization and care and a 24 hour care facility may be recommended. I agree to be held responsible for the costs associated with any resuscitation attempt that is made on my pet.Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) I do not authorize resusciative efforts if my pet should suffer cardiopulmonary arrest (heart and lungs stop functioning). I understand that if my pet suffers from cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest, collapse or unconsciousness, and CPR is not performed, my pet will pass away.
