•Preanesthetic Labwork

Yes, I would like to receive the labworkNo, I decline the screen & understand my pet could have an undetected/underlying condition placing him/her at anesthetic risk.

Mature(>7years) OR Pre-existing Conditions-

Our greatest concern is the well-being of your pet. Therefore, we highly recommend that your pet receive pre-anesthetic blood testing. This testing will allow us to evaluate the kidneys and liver these organs are important for anesthetic safety. We also evaluate other parameters, including a CBC and electrolytes. If an abnormality exists, you will be contacted before we proceed, to ensure the safety of your pet. In some cases, the procedure may require postponement and/or cancellation due to safety.

I understand that labwork is mandatory with any mature pet procedure

An IV catheter will be placed, and fluids given to every anesthetized pet. An IV catheter is our first line of defense in the event of an anesthetic emergency. It allows direct access to the blood stream to administer emergency medications. IV fluids also aid in the maintenance of hydration as well as managing blood pressure. Fluids also help us to “flush” the system of remaining anesthetic drugs.

Has your pet had any unusual symptoms lately (i.e.vomiting,diarrhea,inappetence, coughing,sneezing, etc)

Yes, please explain:

No

For the pet’s safety as well as our staff’s safety, any animal coming in for an anesthetic procedure are required to be up to date on vaccines. Rabies and DHLPP vaccines are required for dogs. Rabies and FVRCP Vaccines are required for cats.

If the doctor has a question during your pet's procedure and he/she cannot get ahold of you, the doctor will use his/her best judgement regarding your pet.
