Sedate to Groom Form

Pre-anesthetic blood tests are necessary to increase the safety of your pet during anesthesia. These blood tests can help us detect anemia, dehydration, diabetes, kidney, livery, and heart disease. All of these conditions can contribute to complications in anesthesia and surgery **Pre-anesthetic blood work will be mandatory if your pet is seven years or older. **

EKG is a noninvasive procedure. Electrodes are placed on your pets skin and connected in a specific order to a machine that, when turned on, measures electrical activity all over the heart. Results are sent to a specialist to be reviewed to make sure the patient’s heart can withstand anesthesia and surgery.

• I understand that because my pet can be fractious, sedation may be required in order to complete the grooming process.
• I understand that pre-anesthetic blood work and an EKG is recommended before my pet is put under anesthesia to check organ function.
• I authorize and direct the veterinarians of Animal Care Center & Pet Care Center to perform the procedures and additional diagnostic and/or other treatment as deemed advised for my pet. The nature of the procedure(s) has/have been explained to me.
• I understand that there may be risks involved in these procedures
• I agree to pay, in full, for services rendered. Including those deemed necessary for medical or surgical complications or unforeseen circumstances. I also understand that all services will be paid for when my pet is released to me.
• Any estimates or charges for the planned procedures are only approximations, and the final bill may be greater or less than these amounts.
