PRE-ANESTHETIC TESTING (Required for animals over the age of 7):
Our greatest concern is the well-being of your pet. Before putting your pet under anesthesia, we recommend a
pre-anesthetic blood test (CBC/Chem) and/or a coagulation screening test (PT/APTT) to help reduce many of the
risks of surgery. Certain conditions including disorders of the liver, kidneys and blood can increase the risks of
surgery. These conditions are not apparent upon physical examination and cannot be identified until a blood test
is performed.
I want my pet to have a CBC/Chem screen performed prior to anesthesia: ($59.30)
YES /
NO
I want my pet to have a PT/APTT performed prior to anesthesia ($35.00) :
YES /
NO
INTRAVENOUS FLUIDS (Mandatory for mature & large breed dog spays and other major surgical procedures):
Administration of intravenous fluids will help to maintain your pet’s blood pressure and increase his/her
circulation during their anesthetic. It will also help him/her to recover more quickly. The intravenous catheter is
also used to administer medication if needed.
I want my pet to have IV fluids during his/her anesthetic: ($71.10)
YES /
NO
PET IDENTIFICATION:
We highly recommend a tattoo and/or microchip to identify your pet. In the event that he/she goes missing,
tattooing and micro-chipping can help to ensure that your pet is returned safely back to you.
I want a TATTOO for my pet ($15.00):
YES /
NO
I want a MICROCHIP for my pet ($75.20):
YES /
NO
PAIN MEDICATION:
Pain medication is included in your surgery price. Pain medication helps to reduce discomfort and inflammation
after surgery.
Please give my pet a complimentary NAIL TRIM while he/she is under anesthetic:
YES /
NO
By signing below, I authorize anesthetic/surgery for my pet. While Central Animal Hospital provides the highest
quality of anesthetic monitoring and surgical services, I understand the nature and risks of this procedure that
have been explained to me and I am encouraged to discuss any concerns with the veterinarian before the
procedure(s) are started. I understand that the veterinarians and hospital team will do everything possible to
reduce any risks and I will not hold Central Animal Hospital, the veterinarians or any team member liable for any
complications that may arise.
