What inspectors wrote

June 17, 2014 — Routine inspection, USDA 63-B-0138

21 dogs recorded (21 puppies).

  • Kittens on expired, unlabeled meds

    A handwritten sign on one enclosure housing five kittens stated that they are currently being treated for respiratory infections with Amoxi and eye medication. A second enclosure housing one kitten (orange and white domestic shorthair) whose litter box had loose stool present in it coated with cat litter had a handwritten sign on it that stated that the kitten was being treated with Metronidazole and Albon. All kittens appeared alert and active. The facility representative stated that the attending veterinarian had been called this weekend and that medication was waiting to be picked up at the vet's clinic. Acquisition records stated that the kittens have been at the store for the last 2-4 weeks. There was no documentation available to show when the vet had been contacted, what the vet's recommendations were or when/with what the kittens had been treated. The attending veterinarian was not able to be reached by phone (on vacation). The inspectors asked to see the medication that was being administered and were shown the following: a large stock bottle of Albon (no directions specific to kitten) and a bottle of aquarium metronidazole tablets that states on the label for use in aquariums only and expired on 5/2014. No bottle of Amoxi was present at the facility. The facility representative stated that they ran out of Clavamox this weekend and had thrown out the empty bottle. From the lack of treatment records available for review, lack of labeling of medication used with kitten instructions (Metronidazole, Albon), use of exired medication (Metronidazole) and lack of medication (Amoxi/Clavamox) available for use it was impossible to determine if appropriate methods are being used to diagnose and treat these kittens. The attending veterinarian must be contacted and involved in the dianosis and treatment of all diseases to ensure the health and well-being off the animals. For commonly treated conditions, treatment plans can be approved in advance by the attending veterinarian and individual animal treatments documented by facility staff. Appropriate methods must be used to prevent, control, diagnose and treat all diseases and injuries. Correct by 6/20/14.

  • Sugar glider mesh bag tearing

    Inside the sugar glider enclosure are bags made of cloth and mesh for the animals to shelter in. The mesh on the bag in one enclosure housing two sugar gliders is tearing apart. The animals could have their digits entangled in the torn mesh, which could result in injury. All parts of the housing, including the bags, shall be maintained in good repair to protect the sugar gliders from injury. Correct by: 06/20/14

23 dogs recorded (23 puppies).

  • No documented contingency plan

    The facility has not yet developed and documented a contingency plan for the animals in the event of an emergency or disaster. A contingency plan is necessary to provide for the humane handling, treatment, transportation, housing and care of the animals in the event of an emergency or disaster. The plan should identify the situations triggering the plan, outline the tasks to be carried out, identify a chain of command, and address how the response and recovery will be handled. The facility shall develop and document a contingency plan to provide for the animals in the event of an emergency or disaster. Correct by 11/30/22.
