ALL PETS MUST BE IN A CRATE OR ON A SECURE LEASH PRIOR TO YOUR ARRIVAL.
If you have any pictures or videos of the concerns you have for your pet today, please email those to recordsfm1488amc@gmail.com
Acknowledgment of Consent:
I understand that I am leaving my pet in the care of FM 1488 Animal Medical Center.
I understand that contact concerning my pet's veterinary care will be done via the telephone with the first available attending Veterinarian upon completion of the physical examination for patients dropping off for veterinary services. Pets having a planned surgical procedure will be contacted by a member of the veterinarian surgical team.
I understand that the Veterinarian may make recommendations that go beyond the original estimated costs presented at check in and these additional costs will be provided to me verbally. I understand that FM 1488 Animal Medical Center will accept verbal authorizations for the treatment of my pet and that an emailed copy of all additional estimates will be provided to me only at my request.
I understand that no guarantees have been made to me as to the results of the veterinary treatment for my pet.
Extended care:
I understand that FM 1488 AMC is NOT a 24 hour facility. There are no clinical staff available to monitor or treat patients overnight and/or on weekends.
I understand that in the event the attending veterinarian is not able to reach me, that it is my responsibility to contact FM 1488 Animal Medical Center at least once every 24 hours to check on the status, medical plan, and fees incurred for my pets care.
Sedation or Anesthetic care:
I understand that some risks always exist with anesthesia and/or surgery and that I am encouraged to discuss any concerns I have about those risks with my pet's attending veterinarian before any procedure is initiated.
I understand that the Veterinarians of FM 1488 Animal Medical Center will/have advise(d) me as to the nature of the surgical procedure being performed on my pet and the associated risks involved.
ADDENDUM FOR DENTAL PROCEDURES: I acknowledge and authorize the attending veterinarian to perform any and all dental extractions as deemed medically necessary for the health of my pet.
ADDENDUM FOR SPAY PROCEDURES: I understand that if it is determined that my pet is pregnant or in heat at the time of the spay, there will be an additional charge for this procedure above the estimate already provided.
All patients treated by this hospital are required to have an Emergency Care Directive including Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) or Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) code on file for each drop off event with our facility.
It is not likely we will need this information, but as is common practice in human medicine, we would like you to think about how you would like us to proceed in the unlikely event of an emergency. CPR is the resuscitation of an animal that has stopped breathing or whose heart has stopped beating. Animals that survive cardiopulmonary arrest and have been successfully resuscitated (CPR) are extremely critical and unstable. The likelihood of re-arrest is HIGH and usually occurs within 4 hours of the initial arrest.
The chances of long term “normal” survival can be extremely low and may be as little as 1%.
Management of the post-arrest patient requires vigilant monitoring and the technical expertise of dedicated critical care personnel at a specialty hospital. The care is costly, and the outcome is uncertain.
