Your cat is scheduled for a procedure that may require sedation and/or anesthesia at Just Cats Veterinary Hospital (JCVH). There are risks with any surgery, sedation, or anesthesia even in animals that appear healthy. Such risks include, but are not limited to, infection at the surgical site, unexpected blood loss, complications with anesthetics such as allergic reaction to anesthetic agents, respiratory depression, prolonged recovery and possible loss of life.

JCVH takes several measures to minimize these risks, but cannot guarantee an outcome for the medical treatments performed.

It is critical that you provide a phone number where you can be reached in an emergency or to discuss the findings of pre-anesthetic testing. The procedure may be delayed if we cannot contact you.

The following are mandatory due to Just Cats’ medical and safety protocols for all Surgeries 4 and Dental procedures:

  • When necessary, an intravenous (IV) catheter will be placed to provide access to the bloodstream.
  • When necessary, the patient will be intubated with a breathing tube to secure the airway.
  • A pre-anesthetic blood test which is run in-house checks immune system and organ function to help determine if the individual can process sedation/anesthesia. This is for patients of all ages and health status, but especially for patients with comorbidities or increased age.
  • In case of an emergency, the veterinarian will perform what treatments they consider necessary in the best interest of your pet. JCVH will make every attempt to contact you if such an event occurs.

The following test is optional. Please check if you want this performed:
