AUTHORIZATION FOR SURGERY

I, owner or authorized agent of admitted patient, hereby authorize the admitting veterinarian (and his/her designated associates or assistants) to administer treatment as necessary to perform the following surgical, dental or diagnostic procedure, and additional procedures as are considered therapeutically and/or diagnostically necessary. I also consent to the administration of such anesthetic as necessary. While your pet is under anesthesia he/she may receive a complementary ear cleaning and nail trim. Please notify an employee if these services are declined.

I hereby authorize performance of the following procedure(s):

Was your pet fasted? (Did not eat for 8-12 hours minimum?)

Home Again Microchip? (Includes one year registration) Cost is $50

Spay Tattoo (~1 inch green line by incision; NO CHARGE - recommended if microchip isn't present)

Dog owners - Do you wish blood to be drawn from your pet for a Heartworm Test? Cost is $65

Cat owners - Do you wish blood to be drawn from your pet for a FeLV/FIV/HW test? Cost is $68

E-Collar - Do you wish to have an e-collar (cone collar) sent home to protect the surgical site from complications that can be caused by licking/chewing? Cost depends on patients size.
