Consent to perform extractions and other necessary procedures

Some patients require IV catheters ($47.00) placed for medication administration, fluids and their safety while under anesthesia. It is required that the IV catheter site be shaved for this due to sterility.
Occasionally, pets need to have teeth extracted for their long-term comfort and health. We will only extract the tooth if it is medically necessary and cannot be repaired. There are additional costs associated with this oral surgery. Your pet will receive pain medications if he or she has a tooth or teeth extracted and you will also receive instructions post-surgically from your technician or doctor.
DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) Request: By checking this box, I am declining a DNR request and understand that I am financially responsible for any costs associated with necessary life-saving measures. I also acknowledge that life-saving measures do not always guarantee a successful outcome, and the effectiveness of such measures can vary based on the nature and severity of the pet's condition.
