Authorization Acknowledgment
I, the undersigned, do verify I am the owner (or authorized agent for the owner) of the above named pet and authorize the above procedure to be performed. I authorize the use of anesthesia and other medication as deemed necessary by the veterinarian and understand that hospital personnel will be employed in the procedure(s) as directed by the veterinarian.
I, the undersigned, have been advised as to the nature of this procedure to be performed and the risks involved. I understand also that there is always a risk associated with any anesthesia episode. Although rare, even in apparently healthy animals, serious complications, even death, may occur. I have discussed any concerns with the veterinarian. I understand that it may be necessary to provide medical and/or surgical procedures, which are not anticipated for the safety and care of my pet. I, the undersigned, do hereby consent to and authorize the performance of such altered and/or additional procedures as are necessary in the veterinarian(s) professional judgment. I accept responsibility for anything that results in additional charges.
I, the undersigned, agree to be responsible for any charges incurred while my pet is in the care of this facility and understand payment is due at the time my pet is released from the hospital. I understand no staff will be attending to my pet overnight (pets needing special care may be referred to a 24 hour hospital.)
