Hospitalization/Surgical Information

Preparation —The skin around the surgical area will be clipped and scrubbed with an antiseptic. We follow sterile procedures (surgical preparation, surgical packs).

Anesthesia —Pre-surgical bloodwork and physical examination will enable us to assess and minimize the risk of anesthesia for your pet. While anesthesia is not totally risk-free, the risk has been greatly reduced by improved anesthetic drugs, monitoring equipment and increased veterinary expertise.

Monitoring —We further minimize anesthetic risk by monitoring heart rate and rhythm, respiration rate and quality, oxygenation, and depth of anesthesia during the procedure.

Catheterization —For some surgical procedures, an intravenous catheter is placed to provide us with an easy route to administer medications and fluids (which support kidney function and blood pressure) during the procedure.

Pain Management —We will proactively manage pain associated with any procedure with appropriate pain management medications. As with any drug, side effects may be associated with their administration.

SIGNATURE OF OWNER/AUTHORIZED AGENT DATE

1: PRE-OP BLOOD SCREEN FOR ORGAN AND BLOOD CELL FUNCTION: REQUIRED

It’s our job to ensure that your pet can process and eliminate the anesthesia given and tolerate pain meds. Before we perform a procedure requiring anesthesia, we can run tests to confirm that your pet’s organs are functioning properly.

We may also detect hidden health conditions or potential problems that we could treat early, provide baseline levels for the future, and evaluate your pet’s health up front so we can avoid problems related to anesthesia. If preanesthetic results are within normal limits, anesthetic risk is minimized. If results are abnormal we can reschedule surgery after more bloodwork or diagnostics are performed. The preanesthetic panel includes kidney and liver function, glucose, and protein level. The General Chemistry Panel incl the preanes panel along with biliary system function, pancreatic values, cholesterol, phosphorus and calcium. The Complete Blood Count or CBC incl red blood cell, white blood cell and platelet counts. The Electrolytes incl Sodium, Potassium and Chloride.

I DO AUTHORIZE IV FLUIDS FOR $30.00

3: HEARTWORM TESTING/HW PREVENTION: HEARTWORM IS IN THIS AREA!!!!!!

Heartworm disease, which is transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito, can affect all dogs since mosquitoes travel into our homes. This disease is easy to prevent, but very difficult and expensive to treat.

The 4DX test from IDEXX takes 10 minutes to run and will show if your pet is Heartworm, Lyme,

Ehrlichia or Anaplasmosis positive. Heartworm prevention is recommended for all dogs for life.

I DO  I DO NOT  AUTHORIZE THE 4DX HEARTWORM TEST FOR $40

I WANT TO START MY DOG ON HEARTGARD PLUS ( cost is weight dependent )

4: DEWORMING; FECAL TEST; GIARDIA TEST

All dogs and cats should have a fecal performed at least once a year. A fecal centrifuge exam can tell us exactly what to use: Drontal: hooks, rounds, whips, tapes; Pyrantel: hooks, rounds; Panacur: rounds, hooks, whips, tapes from non-flea sources.

I DO  I DO NOT  WANT A FECAL EXAM $20; I DO  I DO NOT  WANT GIARDIA $25

5: MICROCHIP WITH REGISTRATION : A HOMEAGAIN chip can be inserted under the skin between the shoulder blades to identify your pet if lost or stolen and to suffice as a LIEFTIME LICENSE!!

I DO  I DO NOT  WANT A MICROCHIP FOR $35.00

6: POST OP LASER THERAPY: The Companion Therapy Laser uses light to stimulate the cells that causes photobiomodulation-the cells increase their fuel production needed for repair and this allows for quicker healing, pain reduction and decreased inflammation and swelling. The cost for this after the spay or neuter is $10.00

I DO I DO NOT WANT LASER TREATMENT

7: ELIZABETHAN OR ECOLLAR:REQUIRED An ECollar will prevent your dog from licking after surgery.

IF you already have an ecollar please bring it to check in on surgery day. An INFLATABLE or BITE NOT collar can be purchased in pet stores if you pet does not like the Ecollar.

8: PAIN MEDS TO TAKE HOME: REQUIRED

All dogs receive pain medication prior to surgery that will last for 24 hours. Surgical procedures require additional medication at home to make your pet more comfortable, less painful and actually heal faster. Dogs with extractions will likely get 2 types of post op pain meds.
