FEMALE DOGS BEING SPAYED ONLY - HEAT CYCLE - What are the approximate dates of your dog's last heat cycle (beginning-end)?

Beginning of Heat

LAPAROSCOPIC SPAY PROCEDURES ONLY

At Frontier Veterinary Hospital we prefer to perform ovariectomy (OVE) surgery using laparoscopy as an adjunct to traditional surgical methods because it is less invasive. However, in come cases your veterinarian may change method during the course of surgery and perform your pet's OVE in the traditional manner, without laparoscopy. This is done at the surgeon's discretion, in order to proceed with the surgical technique which is safest for the patient. If this becomes necessary, your veterinarian may need to call you post-operatively due to the time sensitive nature of anesthesia and surgery.

I have read and understand.

PICKUP AFTER SURGERY

Standard pickup time is between 6-8pm due to the nature of hospital safety procedures and anesthesia recovery. Occasionally pets may be able to go home earlier, so please provide the earliest time you are able to pick up your pet and attend a 20 minute hospital discharge appointment: *
