My signature below verifies the following:
A) The diagnosis, medical/surgical care and post surgical care has been described to my satisfaction.
B) A financial estimate has been prepared for me. I understand these expected costs are only estimates and
that situations can arise that would alter the actual medical cost.
C) I accept that all medical/surgical procedures involve some risk. I understand that these risks include but
are not limited to:
1) Sedation. I realize that some patients may have adverse reactions to anesthesia/sedation that may result in
permanent injury or death.
2) Infections can complicate would healing. I realize that despite all precautions, a small percentage of patients may
develop infections. I understand that these patients require additional medical care, which is not covered in my
medical estimate.
3) Unexpected outcomes. I understand that no promises or warranties can be given. I realize that complications can
occur at any point during the procedure or the healing process. I accept that some complications can prevent my pet
