Specific Owner's Consent Should be Manadatory
 

Posting the notice on a wall that a student will be conducting a surgery that specifically requires a licensed Veterinarian is not sufficent notice nor does it consistute specific, infomed consent.  Please require a detailed statement on a signature required release form.  

We have a right to know the level of education, experience and expertise of the "veterinarian" performing the procedure on our pets!
