malignancies, septicemia, bacteremia, autoimmune disorders, ingestion of toxic substances, recent exposure to or history of rabies, distemper, or parvovirus, general unexplained lethargy or malaise.
We do not perform the euthanasia procedure directly. This procedure must be performed in the veterinary clinic after consulting with the veterinarian. In order to evaluate donor eligibility, blood samples must be collected before euthanasia. After that, we will move the donor to our operating rooms to perform the surgical recovery of the tissue grafts.
We evaluate donor eligibility by performing serological tests for rabies, distemper, parvo virus, heartworm and Brucella using blood samples collected from donors.
If the pet’s owner agrees to donate, he or she can be given 2 copies of the Donor Consent Form to review and sign, one to be left at the clinic and one for us to have. The consent form can be downloaded at our website or just call us, we will send you the form immediately.
After the recovery procedure ended, we can have the donor privately cremated and return the ashes to the owners according to the owners wish (The ashes will be put in a nicely finished cedar box, or an urn upon request). All costs will be covered by VETEREGEN. The cremation process and return of ashes can take up to 1 or 2 weeks
