Surgical Consent

I acknowledge that my pet is scheduled for an anesthetic procedure. I have been informed that advances in anesthesia and anesthetic monitoring techniques have made routine procedures relatively safe, with low rates of complications. However, I understand that occasionally problems can occur due to pre-existing conditions that are not evident during routine histories and physical examinations. I understand that some risk always exists with anesthesia, even in apparently healthy animals, including the possibility of death. I have discussed my concerns with the veterinarian and understand that it may be necessary to provide additional medical or surgical treatment to my pet in the event of unforeseen circumstances. I realize that no guarantee, legal or ethical, can be made to me regarding the outcome of any procedure performed. I hereby authorize the use of anesthetics and other medications, as well as any such additional treatment, as deemed necessary by the veterinarian. I understand that hospital personnel will be employed in treating my pet. I have carefully read, and fully understand, this consent. The fees associated with these services have been explained to me, and I agree to pay such fees at the time my pet is released from the hospital. * *

I have read and agree.

Pre-Surgical Bloodwork Authorization

To help minimize anesthetic risk, the doctors and staff at Chester Valley Veterinary Hospital recommend that pets undergoing anesthesia have pre-surgical bloodwork performed prior to their procedure. This screening evaluates important organ functions and helps identify underlying conditions that may not be visible during a physical exam. The results assist the veterinary team in determining whether anesthesia can be performed safely and if any adjustments to anesthetic medications or monitoring are necessary. *

I Consent to the recommended pre-anesthetic diagnostics.
I Decline to the above recommended pre-anesthetic diagnostic.

Please note: if your pet is considered geriatric (over 10 years of age or older), pre-anesthetic bloodwork is required for the safety of your pet during anesthesia.

I hereby certify that I am the owner or authorized agent of the above-named animal and have the authority to execute this consent. *

I have read and certify.
