With full understanding of the above, the undersigned owner / agent authorizes the De Cillo Equine Veterinarian to perform, under any anesthetic deemed advisable, said operation / procedure.
I understand that further procedures may be therapeutically necessary based on findings during the operation/procedure. I consent to those procedures, their additional cost, and any unreported lifesaving emergency care deemed necessary by the attending Veterinarian.
I understand that risks and potential complications exist with anesthesia and surgery. These include, but are not limited to:
· Abnormal reaction to anesthetic agents, self inflicted injury during anesthesia recovery (i.e., fractured leg, head trauma), muscle and nerve damage, dehiscence of incision, colic, post operative infection, equipment failure, and death.
· Surgically removed tissues may be processed at additional costs to establish an accurate diagnosis.
