Your pet is in today for anesthesia/surgery; your pet’s safety is our number one concern. Before putting your pet under anesthesia we perform a complete physical examination. We also highly recommend a Pre-Anesthetic Blood Profile be performed. This will help rule-out any pre-existing problem, such as: dehydration, anemia, diabetes infection and/or kidney and liver disease. These conditions may not be evident on physical exam, but could lead to serious complications. Although the blood profile does not totally eliminate the risks, it greatly reduces the possibility of anesthetic and surgical complications and also serves as a baseline for future treatment.
FeLV/FIV are major causes of illness and death in cats. Both are viruses that are spread from cat to cat. The viruses are spread in cat bites, urine, and saliva.
If your pet is found to be infested with fleas or ticks they will be treated at your expense. I am the owner or authorized agent of the owner and am at least 18 years of age. I hereby authorize Town & Country Veterinary Services to perform the procedure(s) noted above and administer anesthetics or other drugs deemed advisable for my pet. I also understand the increased risks of complications by not performing the pre-anesthetic blood profile. I recognize that there is always risks and agree not to hold Town & Country Veterinary Services or any of its staff responsible and it is understood that I assume all risks and financial responsibility. If I fail to pick up my pet in ten days, the animal will become the property of Town & Country Veterinary Service and may disposed of as deemed best. This does not relieve me from any costs or financial responsibility.
I have read and understand this authorization and consent.
