I understand that my pet may need to be sedated for their appointment today. I also understand
that Veterinary Medicine is an inexact science and some complications can arise such as (including, but not limited to) vomiting, constipation, and in rare cases death. I give permission to treat my pet, but will not hold Hoof & Paw Veterinary Clinic liable for any unforeseen circumstances that may arise.
I understand that risks always exist with anesthesia and that I am encouraged to have pre anesthetic bloodwork done and discuss any concerns and options with a Veterinarian before my pet is sedated.
I am also aware that during the hours of 6 pm to 6:30 am there is NOT overnight staff to continuously monitor my pet at the Hoof & Paw Veterinary Clinic, and that upon my request and expense a referral to a 24 hour emergency clinic is an option that is available to me.
I understand that Veterinary Medicine is an inexact science and there is no guarantee of successful treatment, but that it is our goal to provide the best attainable and humane care we can provide for your pet at our facility.
