I am the owner of the above named pet and authorize the above procedure to be performed. I authorize the use of anesthesia and other medication as deemed necessary by the veterinarian. I understand that there is always a risk associated with any anesthesia episode, even in apparently healthy animals and have discussed my concerns with the veterinarian. I understand that it may be necessary to provide additional medical and/or surgical procedures which are not anticipated for the safety or care of my pet. I hereby consent to and authorize the performance of such altered and/or additional procedures as are necessary in the veterinarian’s professional judgment. I agree to be financially responsible for any charges incurred while my pet is in the care of Coastal Veterinary and understand payment is due at the time my pet is discharged from the hospital.
