Procedure Information
Procedure:
I certify that I am the owner/guardian of the pet described above and have full authority to execute this consent. I certify that my pet has not eaten in the last 10 hours as recommended. I hereby authorize the veterinarian at Headwaters Veterinary Center to perform the surgical procedure(s) listed above.

Anesthesia and Surgery Risks

I understand that my pet will undergo anesthesia and surgery, and I am aware of the potential risks, including but not limited to:

• Adverse reactions to anesthesia

• Bleeding, infection, or complications during or after surgery

• Rare but serious complications, including death

I acknowledge that no guarantees can be made regarding the outcome of the procedure. 

Pre-Anesthetic Bloodwork
For patients of any age, blood work helps reduce the risk of complications during anesthesia and to ensure a faster recovery for your pet. If the results detect any hidden illness, we can alter the anesthesia or postpone the procedure to ensure your pet’s safety. For pets 8 years and older, as well as pets with pre-existing medical conditions, this blood work is required by our clinic.

Pain Management
I understand that pain management is an important part of my pet’s care. I authorize the use of appropriate pain relief medications before, during, and after the procedure.

Emergency Care
In the event of an emergency or unforeseen complications, I authorize the veterinarians at Headwaters Veterinary Center to take any necessary measures to stabilize and treat my pet. I understand that additional costs may be incurred.

Financial Responsibility
I agree to pay for all services rendered, including the surgical procedure, anesthesia, medications, and any additional treatments or diagnostics deemed necessary. I understand that payment is due at the time of service.
