As the owner or owners agent with permission from the owner of the above pet, I certify that I am over the age of 18 and I authorize the staff of this hospital, Yucca Veterinary Medical Center, to perform the procedure(s) listed above, as well as those deemed necessary to treat life-threatening emergencies. As with all anesthetic, treatment, and/or surgical procedures, I understand there are risks inherent in these services. I understand there are risks with any patient going under and recovering from anesthesia. I understand that these risks range from injury to death. I understand that Yucca Veterinary Medical Center can refuse service to animal that appears to be a health and/or safety risk. I understand that some health factors increase surgical risk including but not limited to: pregnancy, disease such as heartworm, FIV, Feline Leukemia, etc. I understand that by bringing my animal to an environment where other animals are present, there is risk for contagious disease. I will not hold Yucca Veterinary Medical Center liable for any illnesses that my pet currently has or may develop in the future. I acknowledge that staff members at this practice have explained the procedures to me, answered questions to my satisfaction and cannot be held responsible for any unforseeable results. Further, I understand that I am financially responsible for all costs incurred during this surgery, treatment and hospitalization. I understand that payment in full is due at the time my pet is released from the hospital.
I understand no staff will be attending to my pet overnight. (We can always refer your pet to a 24 hour facility at your expense if you would like.)
