• If there is a clinical indication based on history or physical examination for pre-anaesthetic blood screening, then this should be performed on the advice of the vet, as per your itemised estimate received. This helps reduce avoidable risks posed by the anaesthetic and/or sedative agents used.
• For pets over the age of 8 years then this is strongly recommended prior to any procedure being performed under sedation or general anaesthesia.
• Even testing younger patients is advisable, as we then have on file what is normal for your pet.
• Normal results are our favourite type of result, as these allow us to proceed with confidence.
• If these have not been included in your estimate received, then these will incur an additional charge. The fee is £45-100, depending on the tests recommended by the vet, which are based on your pet’s age and health. A young healthy dog in for castration would be £45. An old thin cat with a heart murmur in for a dental may be up to £100.
I hereby give my permission for the administration of a sedative or anaesthetic (if applicable) to my pet as named on this form.
It may be necessary for Cater Veterinary Centre to administer medication(s) to my pet that is/are not licensed for his/her species under the cascade system, but which are applicable to the treatment required. I understand and give my consent to this.
Please note, a copy of this completed consent form shall be returned to you by email, once received by Cater Vets.
We shall also print a copy, to receive your hand-written signature at the time of admission.
