She had a build up of brown, gray-green material on her back teeth with gums that were swollen and when touched, a thick yellowish- white discharge occurred. She also has matted hair on the face and legs that are dangling and pulling on the skin. The appearance of vertebrae and ribs may be an indication of malnourishment, parasites or other illness. Swollen gums may make eating painful also. Hair that is matted and pulling on the skin can cause discomfort and pain to the animal. The licensee must remove the matted hair and have this dog examined by a veterinarian. The licensee must ensure that a effective hair coat maintenance program is adhered to at all times to prevent matting of the hair and that all animals receive adequate veterinary care with documentation (preferably in writing) of any treatments, prescriptions or medical programs prescribed.

  • Two Chihuahuas housed together; torn ear (Direct)

The ear flap showed signs of dried blood and the edges of the wound had started to turn black. Licensee had not noticed at time of inspection but indicated that it may have been the result of a fight between the dogs.
