ANESTHETIC INFORMATION & CONSENT
Procedure to be Preformed? (Spay or Neuter)*
I, the undersigned do certify that I am the owner/authorized agent of the animal described above and have the authority to complete this consent form. I do hereby consent and authorize Pine Grove Veterinary Hospital, its staff and/or authorized agents to: hospitalize; administer any necessary medications; perform any necessary diagnostic tests/procedures/treatments and carry out any sedation/anesthetics that the doctors deem necessary for the health, safety or well-being of the animal described above while he/she is in their care and supervision.

I understand the nature of the procedure(s) being carried out and the risks associated with performing general anesthesia, up to and including death. I realize that results cannot be guaranteed, and I do understand that all reasonable precautions will be taken for my pet’s health and safety. If my pet should injure itself in an escape attempt; refuse food; soil itself; become ill or die while in the hospital, I will hold Pine Grove Veterinary Hospital and its staff free of any responsibility and/or liability in the absence of gross negligence.

I further realize that I am responsible for payment for the following procedure(s) and treatments in full at the time my pet is discharged. If I neglect to pick my pet up within five (5) days of written notice that he/she is ready for release (mailed to the above address,) you may assume that he/she is abandoned. You are then authorized to proceed with him/her in whichever way you see fit. Abandonment does not release me of my financial obligation concerning the bill.

I understand that if my pet is found to have fleas that he/she will be treated with the product “Advantage” and I will be billed accordingly. If I choose to purchase the remainder of the package it will be made available to me at the time of discharge.

I acknowledge that my pet will have the following done either prior to or on the day of surgery:

- Pre-anesthetic blood work - my pet will have a blood sample taken to assess the following:

- Complete Blood Count: assesses white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets;

- Biochemistry Profile: assesses liver, kidneys, pancreas, electrolytes, proteins and glucose;
