2.40(b)(3) (Direct) – Attending veterinarian and adequate veterinary care (dealers and exhibitors).
A female adult cat with the microchip 992000001399018 “Ashley” has has generalized hair loss on her entire back, from her shoulders to and including the top of her tail. There are both scabs and pink sores visible on her back. The cat was seen licking her back multiple times while she was being observed during the inspection. The licensee stated that she had the cat examined by two different veterinarians. Both veterinarians verified that they examined the cat for this problem in 2021. The licensee stated that this problem waxes and wanes but she has not contacted the veterinarian to communicate an update of this problem when it has flared up again. Failure to observe medical problems and/or communicate those ongoing problems to a veterinarian can result in a delay in treatment and prolonged pain and suffering. The facility representative must observe all animals daily and then ensure a mechanism of direct and frequent communication with a veterinarian so that timely and accurate information on problems of health, behavior, and well-being are conveyed. This includes communication regarding problems that have previously been evaluated but are ongoing. This communication must allow the veterinarian to be able to examine the animal and ensure that appropriate treatment is provided as required by section 2.40(b)(2) and further, that the findings are documented in accordance with section 3.13. To be corrected by 17 February 2024.

2.75(a)(1) (Non-Critical) – Records: Dealers and exhibitors.
One adult male cat named “Gizmo” is not included on the inventory of animals and is not listed on the APHIS 7005 form. Compete and correct record keeping information enables the tracking of animals regulated under the Animal Welfare Act and facilitates the inspection process. The licensee must make, keep, and maintain records or forms which fully and correctly disclose the following information concerning each dog or cat purchased or otherwise acquired, owned, held, or otherwise in his or her possession or under his or her control, or which is transported, euthanized, sold, or otherwise disposed of by that dealer or exhibitor. The records shall include any offspring born of any animal while in his or her possession or under his or her control. To be corrected by 20 February 2024.

3.13(a)(3) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
Puppy medical records show that a litter of puppies born 17 November 2023 received “wormer revolution” on 14 Jan 2024. The program of veterinary care for intestinal parasites refers to a deworming program from the veterinarian but does give directions for what program is to be used. Revolution is not listed in the program of veterinary care for the treatment or prevention of intestinal parasite in dogs. Revolution is listed on the program of veterinary care for the plan for ectoparasites. The written program of veterinary care ensures that the dogs are being given appropriate care including prevention and treatment medication for intestinal parasites and other pests. These parasites can cause sickness or even death in dogs and are also of zoonotic concern for people. The licensee must ensure that the program of veterinary care from the Attending Veterinarian gives direction for vaccinations for contagious and/or deadly diseases of dogs (including rabies, parvovirus and distemper) and sampling and treatment of parasites and other pests (including fleas, worms, coccidia, giardia, and heartworm). The licensee must follow this program of veterinary care. To be corrected by 29 February 2024.

3.13(a)(4) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
The written program of veterinary care does not include any directions for the preventative care and treatment to ensure healthy and maintained coats, toe nails, eyes, ears, skin, and teeth of the dogs. A written plan ensures that the licensee is providing adequate preventive care for the dogs and treating problems as they arise according to the instructions of the attending veterinarian. The licensee must have a written program of veterinary care for the dogs from the attending veterinarian that direct the preventative care and treatment to ensure healthy and unmatted hair coats, properly trimmed nails, and clean and healthy eyes, ears, skin, and teeth. To be corrected by 27 February 2024.

3.13(b)(3) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
There licensee stated that she is giving the distemper/parvo combination vaccines to the adult dogs yearly and that Revolution is being given to the adult dogs monthly. However, there is no medical record documentation for the administration of vaccines and treatments of monthly Revolution. Complete medical records ensure that the licensee knows which treatments and vaccines were given when and to which dogs and allows the licensee to verify that the program of veterinary care is being followed. The licensee must must keep copies of medical records for dogs and make the records available for APHIS inspection. These records must include the names of all vaccines and treatments administered and the dates of administration. To be corrected by 13 March 2024. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the licensee. n
