-A female teddy/mix tag #3256 had a physical exam on 3/16/2026 and an eye ulcer noted on her right eye and treatment instructions from the Attending Veterinarian (AV) to apply triple antibiotic ophthalmic ointment. The licensee said that the AV left the ophthalmic ointment that day and the eye needed to be treated, however has not been applying the treatment. The affected eye has a small area of cloudiness with small veins in the middle of the cloudy area which can be a sign that it has not fully healed.

The licensee said that the ears have not yet been cleaned as instructed. The ears observed today had a dark material in both and a slight bad odor to them.
