Pre-Anesthetic Blood Work Consent
If your pet is here for a procedure involving sedation/anesthesia, please read the following carefully and indicate your preference by signing below.
A complete physical exam will be performed prior to any anesthesia/sedation to assure your pet’s health and safety. Along with the physical examination, we strongly recommend a few simple laboratory tests to determine your pet’s ability to tolerate the procedure and assure that it is a low-risk patient. The screening includes a complete blood count and a chemistry profile. This will demonstrate your pet’s ability to metabolize the sedation/anesthesia properly.
*ALL PETS 5 YEARS AND OLDER MUST HAVE PRE-ANESTHETIC BLOODWORK DONE BEFORE ANY SEDATION/ANESTHESIA. EVERY DOG MUST HAVE AN ANNUAL HEARTWORM TEST PRIOR TO ANESTHESIA*
We have the latest in laboratory equipment/technology which makes this procedure quick, easy, and inexpensive. We are proud to be able to offer this benefit to our clients. There is an additional charge of $164.60 for the screening and we feel it is an important step to ensure your pet’s safety and level of risk.
