Your pet will be undergoing general anesthesia plus a surgical procedure today. Please review the consent and do not hesitate to inform us of any questions or concerns you may have.
Pre Anesthetic Blood Work
In order to recognize any underlying abnormalities your pet may have, we recommend having a pre-surgical profile run on your animal. Pre-anesthetic blood work checks the internal organs and blood count and is a vital part of safe anesthesia. Help us provide the best level of care for your pet by choosing to perform blood work prior to anesthesia or sedation. Please note, some procedures REQUIRE bloodwork. The staff at AVMC will review this with you when applicable.*
- I authorize bloodwork
- I decline blood work and understand there are increased risks during anesthesia

I understand that unforeseen conditions may be revealed during the procedures that may require more extensive or different treatments. I understand that all reasonable efforts will be made to contact me to authorize any additional treatments. However, if these efforts are unsuccessful, I authorize the performance of any procedures or treatments that are deemed immediately necessary for the health and wellbeing of my pet in the professional opinion of the attending veterinarian.*

I acknowledge these risks and understand that the veterinarians and hospital staff will try to minimize such risks.
