2.40(b)(3) (Non-Critical) – Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors).
The facility did not communicate a medical issue to their Attending Veterinarian in a timely manner. An 8-week-old male dachshund puppy (#01004) has a right eye that appears to be small and sunken in with the third eyelid raised covering about half of the surface of the eye. The animal appears to not have vision in the eye. The facility had noticed the condition previously and states that the animal has been blind since birth but did not contact the attending veterinarian. Failure to properly communicate medical issues to the attending veterinarian can result in delayed diagnostics and treatment. Correct by ensuring that there is a direct and frequent communication so that timely and accurate information on problems of animal health can be conveyed to the attending veterinarian. During the inspection, the facility called the attending veterinarian and was given further guidance for this condition. This is a 1st Re-License Inspection for a Class “A” license. The inspection and exit briefing were conducted with the applicant. All items must be in compliance within 2 more inspections or by May 6, 2024 or the applicant will forfeit the license fee and must wait 6 months to reapply. Please contact your inspector to schedule your next Re-License Inspection. Regulated activity can continue under your existing USDA license until it expires. n
