The nature and purpose of these procedures and treatments, the associated major risks and available alternative treatments have been explained to me. I acknowledge that no guarantee has been made as to results that may be obtained. I understand that complications may arise which cannot be predicted. I understand that I will be held financially responisilbe for any veterinary medical care necessitated by complications.
I consent to the administration of sedatives, analgesics, and anesthetic agents as deemed appropriate by the veterinarian in charge (see Pain Management Philosophy below).
If unforeseen conditions arise which, in the judgment of the attending veterinarian, call for procedures or treatments other than those now being authorized, I authorize such procedures or treatments if reasonable efforts to contact me for further consent are unsuccessful.
