I understand that the SBAH team will make every reasonable effort to contact me or my designated authorized contact regarding my pet's condition, treatment recommendations, and associated costs. If the hospital is unable to reach me or my designated contact in a timely manner, I authorize the attending veterinarian to perform any treatments, diagnostics, or procedures deemed medically necessary for the health and well-being of my pet, up to the total amount of $ 0.00 * . This authorization remains in effect until I, or my designated contact, am able to communicate with the hospital and provide further instruction.
