I, the undersigned owner, authorized agent of owner, or good Samaritan seeking veterinary care for the pet identified on this form, hereby consent to examination of this pet by the staff and veterinarians of Savannah Veterinary Internal Medicine & Intensive Care, P.C. (SVIMIC).
I understand that following consultation with me, a veterinarian will recommend medications, treatments, hospitalization, or other medical procedures for my pet. I will be able to accept or decline these recommendations.
I understand that an estimate for the cost of veterinary care will be provided to me and that I am encouraged to discuss all fees with the veterinarian or staff member before services are rendered. a deposit of 75% of the estimate's high end will be required before testing or treatments are performed.
I assume financial responsibility for the balance of all services, and understand that payment in full is expected at the time my pet is discharged from the hospital. SVIMIC does not offer a payment plan. outstanding balances will incur monthly finance charges as allowed by law.
Should life-saving emergency care be required and the attending veterinarian is unable to contact me, the veterinarians and staff of SVIMIC have permission to provide such treatment and I agree to pay all related fees incurred.
I accept that veterinary medicine is an inexact science and that no guarantee of successful treatment or survival has been made.
Should the veterinarian recommend an ultrasound (sonogram) procedure, and I consent, the area being examined will be shaved. If I do not want my pet shaved I must notify the staff or veterinarian. I understand that not shaving my pet may limit the diagnostic quality of the exam.
I understand that my pet will not be anesthetized/sedated without my consent unless an emergency requires it and I am unable to be contacted.
