I, being responsible for the above-described animal (the pet), grant you my consent to receive, prescribe for, treat and/or operate upon the pet. I understand that the surgery or treatment is contemplated as described above.
You are to use all reasonable precautions against injury, escape, or demise of the pet, but you will not be held liable or responsible in any manner whatever or under any circumstances on account of the care, treatment, or safekeeping of the pet or otherwise in connection therewith, as it is thoroughly understood that I assume all risks.
I also understand that conditions not known may make it advisable that other surgery or treatment be conducted and I authorize such other surgery, treatment, and pain medication when and if they are deemed advisable. I consent to the administration of such anesthesia and pain medication as may be deemed proper by the doctor.
I acknowledge that no assurance or guarantee has been made of the results of surgery or treatment and that the risks and probabilities of complications exist in any surgical or medical treatment. If the pet is not called for within ten (10) days after the time specified for return, and if the doctor is not notified in writing of an alternate date within the ten-day period, the pet will be considered abandoned. I understand that abandoning does not relieve me from paying all costs of your services and use of your hospital including the cost of boarding. I understand that all charges including boarding costs shall be paid when the pet is released from the hospital.
I understand that 24-hour care is not provided. If continuous care is deemed appropriate for my pet, the doctor may recommend a transfer to an overnight or 24-hour facility.
