Today your pet is here for surgery. We strive to provide optimal service in a timely fashion. Overall patient health and comfort are our goals. Your decision to have this surgery performed shows your concern for your pet's health.

We always try to use the safest anesthetic for your pet. As with any procedure requiring general anesthesia there are always inherent and potential risks of complications. During the procedures or operations, unforeseen complications may arise that necessitate an extension or abandonment of the foregoing procedures or operations.
Our clinic has in house Blood Chemistry Profile capabilities that allow us to perform pre-anesthetic blood tests the morning before surgery. By performing a blood chemistry profile we can evaluate the function of your pet's internal organs, specifically the liver and kidneys since these organs are responsible for the processing of our anesthetic drugs. Performing the blood chemistry profile allows us to minimize the risks of anesthesia. If any significant alterations are identified by these tests, we can modify our anesthetic plan or postpone anesthesia altogether if necessary. We will call at the phone number you request should any alterations manifest.
We believe performing this blood chemistry profile is part of evaluating your pet's overall health. This is why we strongly recommend and encourage you to choose to have this test done. This is not mandatory. Should you have any questions or concerns please feel free to ask prior to signing this document.
