Your pet has been or will be admitted for hospitalization. The staff at Hernando Animal Clinic & Surgery Center will make every effort to prevent complications arising from your pets illness/injury or from procedures carried out in our hospitals. However, in some cases, there is risk that your pet may experience respiratory and/or cardiac arrest while hospitalized. We encourage an open discussion of all medical information between you and our veterinary staff prior to admission. Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a difficult subject for many people, but one that is very important to review. All patients admitted to Hernando Animal Clinic & Surgery Center must have a resuscitation directive regardless of severity of illness.
