I understand that whilst my pet will be closely monitored during their anaesthetic and all efforts are taken to minimise risks, the use of an anaesthetic drug does involve some risk to my pet. I understand that whilst every care and attention will be given to my pet, surgical procedures involve some risk. This could include, but is not limited to: bleeding, infection and wound breakdown. I understand that off license drugs may be used on my pet. This means that a human version of a drug may be used if a licensed veterinary drug is not available. Alternatively, this may also mean that in the case of exotic pets (including rabbits and guinea pigs) where these is not a licensed veterinary product for that species, we may use a veterinary product that is licensed for a different species such as canine and feline drugs. I understand that in the event of complications, every effort will be taken to contact me on the numbers I have provided, I agree to be contactable at all times. If I am unavailable, then I understand the practice will perform any procedures necessary in the interest of my pet’s safety. I understand that the full fee for my pet’s procedure will be payable when my pet is discharged.
