Surgical Extractions:

It can be difficult to predict if teeth need extraction when an animal is awake because tartar and movement interfere with the assessment. Severely diseased teeth can cause considerable pain and discomfort and are a source of infection for other organ systems (liver, kidney, lungs, and heart.) During the dental cleaning, the teeth are evaluated, and if found to be diseased, they may require extraction. The cost of extractions varies depending on the amount of time taken and the difficulty of the extraction and can range from $65.00 to $175.00 per tooth.

Once the veterinarian has reviewed the dental radiographs and completed the oral assessment, you will be contacted at the provided number regarding additional recommendations. We will review additional costs of the recommended treatments with you and request consent. If we are not able to reach you within 10 minutes, we will complete the previously agreed upon care plan and begin recovery.

We offer the following options in the event that we are unable to reach you after 10 minutes to obtain the consent for additional necessary treatments. Please select the option that you prefer.

DO NOT PROCEED: I understand that {yourPets} is under anesthesia and would like a phone call with an updated estimate of charges and procedures. If the staff is unable to get ahold of me, I DO NOT WANT ANY TREATMENTS COMPLETED. I understand that in choosing this option, if I wish for {yourPets} to have these treatments completed, I will need to return for a second anesthetic procedure at a later date. A revised plan for care and expected costs will be provided to me.

I understand that home care administered by myself or a designated caretaker may be required to achieve the best overall success.

I agree to make myself available by telephone during the approximate time interval of 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM

Hospital and Procedural Information

Anesthesia: Pre-surgical blood tests and physical exam will enable us to assess and minimize the risk of anesthesia to {yourPets}.

Monitoring: To minimize anesthesia risk, we monitor the heart, blood pressure, respiration rates, temperature, and oxygenation.

Catheterization: For sterility, hair will be shaved over a vein on the leg so that an intravenous catheter (I.V.) can be placed. Blood pressure may lower during anesthetic procedures, and fluid therapy aids in supporting {yourPets}'s internal organ systems. It also allows immediate access to the vascular system in case of an emergency.

Pain management may be necessary for some dental procedures. The veterinarian will administer pain medications according to {yourPets}'s needs, which can be an additional fee.

Antibiotics are an additional fee and may be prescribed by the veterinarian for {yourPets}'s oral hygiene needs.

Please note: Additional surgical options will require an additional consent form to be signed.

Authorization

I have read and fully understand this anesthesia and surgery consent form. I have been advised as to the nature of the procedure(s) and the risks involved. I realize that the results cannot be guaranteed. I am aware that THERE ARE RISKS WITH ANY ANIMAL GOING UNDER ANESTHESIA and know that the veterinarian will take all necessary precautions, and I am encouraged to discuss any concerns I have about those risks with the hospital's medical staff before the procedure(s) is/are initiated:

While Shady Brook Animal Hospital provides the highest quality of anesthesia monitoring, surgical services, and dentistry, I completely understand the possibility of unforeseen complications that may occur during any associated anesthetic, surgical, or dental procedure. I fully acknowledge and understand these medical risks. I recognize that the veterinarian and hospital staff will do all that is necessary to minimize such risks. I will hold harmless Shady Brook Animal Hospital, the veterinarian, or any hospital staff member liable for any complications that may or should arise in {yourPets}'s medical treatment and care.

I understand that during the performance of the procedures/treatments, unforeseen conditions or problems may be revealed that necessitate an extension of the procedure(s) or that different procedures than those set forth may become necessary. Therefore, I consent to and authorize the performance of any such procedure(s) the veterinarian deems necessary. The staff of Shady Brook Animal Hospital will contact me as soon as medically able to inform me of any changes in my pet's condition.

I also authorize the use of appropriate anesthetics and other medications, and I understand the hospital support personnel will be employed as deemed necessary by the veterinarian.

I understand that the hospital is not liable for any lost or damaged personal property (leashes, collars, etc.) that is left in the hospital. I understand that I should take all items that I do not wish to be lost or damaged with me.

If I neglect to pick up {yourPets} within 5 days of the date below and do not notify Shady Brook Animal Hospital within that time frame, Shady Brook Animal Hospital may assume my pet is abandoned.

No warranty or guarantee has been offered or given to me as to the results or cure afforded by these treatments or procedures.

I AM AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE. I have read and understand this authorization and have the authority to execute this consent.
