Consent for Admission, Treatment, Anesthesia & Surgery

I, the undersigned owner or responsible agent, hereby authorize the doctors at Main Street Vet to prescribe for, treat, anesthetize or perform surgery on the above named pet(s). Should some unexpected life-saving emergency care be required, Main Street Vet’s staff has my permission to provide such treatment and I agree to pay for such care. I understand that anesthesia and surgery are procedures which contain inherent risks. I am encouraged to discuss any concerns about those risks with my attending veterinarian prior to procedures being performed. I agree to assume full financial responsibility for the balance of all services rendered at the time my pet is discharged.

Save This Life Microchips $35.00

While under anesthesia we can microchip your pet. The microchip is the size of a grain of rice and is inserted just under the skin around the shoulder blades. If your pet should become lost, a microchip will identify you as the owner. The cost is $35.00 with no annual registration fee.

Anti-Nausea Injection

A Cerenia injection can be given to your pet. This injection will help to prevent nausea in your pet, encourage them to eat faster after surgery and recover quicker.

Laparoscopic Procedures

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery option for a multitude of procedures. It uses only a few small incisions, reduced risk of bleeding during and after surgery, less of a need for an Elizabethan collar, faster recovery time and lower risk of infection. With all surgical procedures sometimes incidents arise where the plan of surgery needs to change in the middle of the procedure. For spay procedures it is an Ovariectomy and the uterus is left but should not cause any issues in the future. By signing below you acknowledge the above and give permission to the surgeon to convert the laparoscopic procedure to a traditional surgery if needed.
