Animal Works Veterinary Surgery requires pre-surgical bloodwork for all orthopedic surgeries. Our pre-surgical bloodwork checks your pet’s organ functions to see if we need to alter our anesthetic protocol or medications to go home. If your pet has recently had bloodwork performed at another clinic, please upload with other records. *

Pre-surgical bloodwork (required with all orthopedic surgeries) $120

Animal Works Veterinary Surgery requires all pets to be up to date on the Rabies vaccine; dogs will need to be current on the Distemper (DA2PP) Combo and cats on FVRCP vaccines. Please provide proof of vaccinations before or at your appointment. These records must be from a qualified veterinarian. If vaccines are needed, your pet may receive them on the day of surgery, and additional fees will be applied. I understand if vaccines are given, this authorization will be valid for multiple vaccination booster visits for my pet up to 1 year from the date of signature.

Additional comments or concerns

I certify that I am the owner or the authorized agent for the owner of the animal listed above. I grant the veterinarians and staff of Animal Works Veterinary Surgery my consent to receive and treat the animal named above as they deem necessary. I am aware that the practice of veterinary medicine is not an exact science and, thus, no reimbursement or guarantees have been made as to results or cure. I understand that there could be unforeseen risks associated with this surgery and that there may be medical or surgical procedures that are not anticipated but necessary for the safety 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 accept responsibility for any result in additional fees. *

I have read and understand

I understand Animal Works Veterinary Surgery will use all reasonable precautions against injury, escape or death of the animal but that neither Animal Works nor its employees, owners, or contractors will be held liable or responsible in any manner. I understand that I assume 100% of the risks with my animal receiving this surgery and/ or procedure. I fully understand that the prior medical consent (if applicable) I signed for my pet’s pre-surgical consult pertains and is valid during this procedure as well. My signature below signifies that I am over 18 years of age. *

I have read and understand

I fully understand that Animal Works veterinarians are Colorado licensed doctors of veterinary medicine but are not board-certified veterinary specialists and maintain and continue to give my consent. I understand that the orthopedic surgery may require recheck(s) under anesthesia every 1 to 2 weeks or as deemed necessary by the attending veterinarian and that any recheck(s) deemed necessary must be performed at Animal Works Veterinary Surgery. I also understand that failure to follow through with the necessary recheck(s) may severely affect my pets' healing process. *

I have read and understand

Anesthetic / Sedation Risks: Although every effort is made to make anesthesia/sedation as safe as possible, there are inherent, unavoidable, assumed risks with any anesthetic procedure and results cannot be guaranteed. These risks have been explained to me, and I am encouraged to discuss any concerns I have about the risks with the staff at Animal Works Veterinary Surgery before the procedure is performed. *

I have read and understand

Intravenous Catheter Placement & Fluid administration during surgery/ recovery: I fully understand my pet may receive intravenous (IV) fluids during the procedure to help maintain hydration, normal blood pressure and support the cardiovascular system. If your pet receives IV Fluids, they may have a shaved area on the front of their leg as the hair must be removed to allow the area to be disinfected properly before inserting the catheter; this area will be bandaged and can be taken off once you arrive home. The fee for intravenous catheter placement, catheter maintenance, and intravenous fluid administration during surgery and recovery is included in the procedure unless noted by the staff of Animal Works Veterinary Surgery. *

I have read and understand

I fully understand my pet will receive medications as deemed necessary by the veterinarian. These medications include but are not limited to pain management and antibiotics. I also understand that any medication has the potential to cause adverse reactions that cannot always be predicted. If concerned, I will bring my pet back to Animal Works or to my primary veterinarian to have these reactions addressed. I accept responsibility for any result in additional fees. *

I have read and understand

I fully understand that Animal Works Veterinary Surgery is a surgical center and not a 24-hour hospital. I accept these limitations of service and understand I would need to take my pet to a 24-hour hospital if complications arise after surgery or treatment. On rare occasions, Animal Works Veterinary Surgery may offer to keep my pet overnight. I understand that no staff will be attending to my pet during this time, and I assume the risk. If I, upon my own accord, choose to go to another veterinary hospital or emergency hospital before or after surgery for my pet, I fully understand that Animal Works Veterinary will not be liable for any charges incurred from the treatment that was given at any other veterinary-related facility or hospital. *

I have read and understand

I further agree to make prompt and complete payment for all treatment upon discharge of the above pet. I also understand and agree that in case of non-payment or non-pick up within 24 hours, Animal Works may relinquish my pet to a local rescue or shelter of their choosing. I will be subject to all billing and/ or finance charges associated with my account. Should it become necessary to settle my account through a collection agency or attorney I, the undersigned, agree to pay all costs of collections. *

I have read and understand

I agree that a digitally scanned or photographic copy of this authorization and instruction shall be as valid as the original, even if my digital signature is not complete or legible. *
