• Emaciated, pregnant Goldendoodle with diarrhea and worms (WTF)

  A pregnant female Golden Doodle, microchip # 0A01774913, was observed by an employee to be a little thin in her outdoor enclosure on 3 November 2015. According to the licensee she brought the dog into a sheltered enclosure and started her on puppy food, Dyne (a nutritional supplement), and dewormed her with pyrantel. On approximately 9 or 10 November 2015 the licensee recalled that this dog was not eating. On 11 November 2015 the licensee recalled that the dog was not doing well. On 12 November 2015 the licensee presented the dog to a veterinarian for an emergency Caesarian section. The veterinarian that performed the emergency Caesarian section noted that the dog had a body condition score of a 1 out of 9 (meaning emaciated), had liquid diarrhea, and that while at the clinic had passed a handful of roundworms. During the time period of 3 November to 12 November (9 days) the licensee did not contact nor consult with a veterinarian about the worsening and debilitated condition of this dog. This could have been a medical issue that required veterinary care. All animals must be observed daily for problems of animal health and their well-being.
