Owner Consent for CPR or DNR

CPR- Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation is the treatment provided for a pet who has stopped breathing or whose heart has stopped beating. Resuscitation of a pet who has stopped breathing (but still has a heartbeat) is more likely to be successful than a pet who has no heartbeat.

DNR- Do Not Resuscitate means that if a pet stops breathing or his/her heart has stopped, no effort should be made by our veterinary professionals to attempt to revive the pet, and the pet will be allowed to die.

IN THE EVENT OF A MEDICAL CRISIS

I wish for the doctors of the Veterinary Clinic of Myrtle Beach to perform CPR on my
pet if he/she suffers respiratory or cardiac arrest. I understand that my pet may or may
not respond to this life-saving procedure.

I understand that if my pet survives because of CPR, he/she may have permanent health issues.

CPR may cost up to $300.00
