Surgical/Anesthesia Information:

As a full service veterinary hospital, we are pleased and proud to offer you the best medical care available to your pet. Your pet's health is of utmost priority to our dedicated staff, and we take all possible precautions to ensure their safety and comfort. Although rare, unexpected complications with general anesthesia can occur.
  1. Bloodwork & ECG: All pets undergoing anesthesia at ABC Veterinary Hospital Pacific Beach have pre-anesthetic blood testing performed to look at basic organ function and to tailor anesthetic medications used. This will also check for pre-existing medical conditions, which may increase the risk of complications during surgery. Additionally, an electrocardiogram will be performed to determine the health of your pet's heart.
  2. IV Catheter: Your pet will have a portion of their leg(s) shaved to all an intravenous (IV) catheter to be placed. This provides immediate access to your pet's circulatory system for rapid administration of drugs should an emergency situation arise. Your pet may also be administered intravenous fluids to help maintain normal blood pressure, protect vital organs, and maintain proper hydration.
  3. Pain Control: All pets undergoing surgery will receive pain injections while at the clinic (which was in the initial quote). Postoperative pain management is a concern for all surgical procedures. Most procedures merit at-home oral medication for several days after surgery and will be dispensed at the veterinarian's discretion.
  4. Flea treatment: For the health and safety of all of our hospitalized pets, all pets housed at our facility must be free of fleas. If fleas or evidence of fleas are found on your pet, an oral rapid-acting flea treatment will be administered (Capstar) at the owner's cost (17$)

Surgical/Anesthetic Consent Waiver:
The nature of the procedure and the potential risks, have been explained to me and I understand the procedure(s) to be performed. I understand that some risks always exist with anesthesia and/or surgery, and I am encouraged to discuss any concerns I have about those risks with my veterinarian before the procedure(s) are initiated. My signature on this consent form indicates that any and all my questions have been answered to my satisfaction.(Required)
I hereby request ABC Veterinary Hospital Pacific Beach to anesthetize and surgically operate on my pet. While ABC Veterinary Hospital Pacific Beach provides the highest quality of anesthesia monitoring and surgical services, I understand the risks and understand that the veterinarians and hospital team will do everything possible to minimize any risks. I understand the hospital support personnel will be used as deemed necessary by the veterinarian. Not withstanding the risk, I request the surgery and waive any and all claims of damage against ABC Veterinary Hospital Pacific beach, its officers and employees, in the event of injury or death of my animal.(Required)
I am aware that there are extra charges if an animal is pregnant, obese, or has an abnormal or enlarged uterus, ranging from $100-$200.

Surgical Tattoo:

At ABC Veterinary Hospital Pacific Beach, we like to do what we can to prevent unnecessary anesthesia/risk. A surgical tattoo is a small colored line/dot that will be places on your pets inguinal area to reflect that he/she has been spayed/neutered. In the case your pet were to escape or become lost, one of the first things a shelter (or vet hospital) would do, is search for that tattoo to determine if your pet has been spayed/neutered. We do this at the time of the surgery, and provide a local block so your pet doesnt feel a thing. Please select your wishes below, if you would like your pet to receive a tattoo.

At ABC(Required)
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Directive(Required)
I understand ABC Veterinary Hospital Pacific Beach requires a CPR status when my pet is left in their care. I acknowledge that the attending veterinarian or staff members of ABC PB will make every effort to contact me regarding treatment in the case of this unforeseen event. The initial cost of CPR, Oxygen and Emergency Injections start at approximately $650.
CPR means "Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation" and is the treatment (resuscitation) of a pet who has stopped breathing or whose heart has stopped beating. Resuscitation of a pet who has stopped breathing but still has a heartbeat is more likely to succeed than resuscitation of a pet with no heartbeat.
DNR means "Do Not Resuscitate." This means that if a pet stops breathing or his/her heart stops, no effort will be made to attempt to revive the pet, and the pet will die.
