Intravenous Catheter and Fluids Notice:(Required)

The use of an intravenous catheter and IV fluids is an additional means to further decrease the risks associated with general anesthesia. The catheter is placed in the vein before anesthesia is initiated. This allows the doctors and nursing staff immediate access to your pet’s vein for administration of intravenous medications, which is particularly important in an emergency. Also, blood pressure tends to fall slightly during general anesthesia. IV fluids helps to maintain hydration and blood pressure, thus helping the kidneys and other organs to function normally during surgery. Your pet’s health and safety are our greatest concerns. IV catheters / fluids are now part of standard anesthetic protocols for many veterinary hospitals and are required at our hospital. To make an intravenous catheter and fluids affordable for all of our patients, the fee is $110.50.

I have read this notice and I understand it.

Pre-anesthetic blood test:(Required)

Because no surgery is without some risks, however small, it is advisable to perform a blood test prior to surgery to check the blood count, protein level, kidney, liver functions and ability to clot blood. Our hospital is fully equipped to perform these important tests and results will be available to the doctor prior to surgery. Should there be any indication that an abnormality exists, the doctor will contact you before proceeding or take those steps necessary to help insure the safe return of your pet.

Post-op pain control:(Required)

Your pet is about to have a major abdominal surgery and will experience some pain after any surgical procedure. Humans are routinely given pain medications to ease their discomfort after surgery. Because animals often do not exhibit easily recognized signs of pain, they have been generally overlooked when it came to pain control. However, recent studies on animals and human babies have shown that post-operative pain medications will reduce the chances of post-operative complications, such as infections and poor healing, even in patients that showed no outward signs of pain.

The general anesthesia provides pain control while the patient is anesthetized but pain sensation returns within minutes of recovery. All patients receive an injection of an analgesic to control pain for the first 12-24 hours after surgery. This medication is safe, non-addicting and as potent as those used for humans. We will also be sending medication to go home for continued relief for the first few days following surgery.

I have read this notice and I understand it.

Microchip Identification: Each year, many pets are lost. Because these pets lack identification (collars and tags are often missing), many are never reunited with their owners. Worse, many are euthanized at animal shelters. To increase the chances that your pet will be reunited with you, we recommend the placement of a microchip. This is a small chip, encased in glass, about the size of a grain of rice, which is inserted under the skin. It is permanent and causes no reaction with the body. The chip number can then be registered with the national registry. In the event that your pet is lost and brought to an animal shelter or veterinary hospital with a microchip scanner, a scan is made, the chip number is recorded and the national registry is called to obtain information on the pet, such as owner’s name, phone number and any medical problems. Since this technology became available over ten years ago, thousands of animals’ lives have been saved. Insertion of the microchip at the time of surgery will be done for $63.00 (Note: This includes a lifetime registration paid to the national registry and we will pay this fee as a thank you for microchipping your pet today).

Microchip consent:(Required)

YES, I want my pet to have a microchip

NO, I do not want my pet to have a microchip

ELIZABETHAN COLLAR: Following surgery, some patients will lick or chew at the sutures, particularly when left alone. No one can predict which pets will do this. An Elizabethan Collar can decrease the likelihood of a pet being able to reach the surgical incision with his/her mouth. In you wish your pet to go home with an Elizabethan Collar, Please ask for a quote.

NO, I do not want my pet to have a collar
