What inspectors wrote

June 28, 2016 — Routine inspection, USDA 23-A-0425

47 dogs recorded (43 adults · 4 puppies).

  • Female Bichon dental tartar and receding gum-line

    One female Bichon with ID tag #69 was noted to have dental tartar with a portion of the gum-line receding on the left upper cheek tooth. The Attending Veterinarian (AV) had examined the dog and noted that it had Moderate to Severe Dental Tartar at that time but did not mention the receding gum-line and stated that no treatment was needed at that time. It appears that the condition may have progressed at this time. Licensee must assure the use of appropriate methods to prevent, control, diagnose, and treat diseases and injuries, to include follow-up on animals that may have progressive conditions. This follow-up assures that the animals do not suffer from worsening of conditions. Correct by having this animal reexamined by the AV and treated as appropriate. To be corrected by: 1 July 2016

158 dogs recorded (52 adults · 106 puppies).

  • Moderate dental tartar

    A 6 year old black white and tan Yorkshire Terrier with the ID tag number 137 had a health condition requiring diagnosis and treatment in consultation with the attending veterinarian. There was a moderate build-up of hard brown material on the surface of the canine, cheek, and front teeth especially along the upper part of the teeth near the gum line. The gums did not appear red or swollen and the dog was in good body condition. The medical records indicate the veterinarian hand scaled the teeth in October 2020 but a physical exam on 4/21/21 did not include any abnormalities documented. The Program of Veterinary Care on file did not address the condition or provide any treatment options. The licensee had not observed the condition and had not contacted the attending veterinarian. The abnormal build-up of material on the teeth can cause damage to the gum tissue and tooth structures. This condition could be painful, may decrease the dog's ability to eat normally, and may result in spread of bacteria to other parts of the body such as liver and kidneys which can negatively impact the overall health of the animal. The licensee must communicate with the attending veterinarian to evaluate the dog and determine an appropriate plan for diagnosis and treatment. Correct by: June 3, 2021

71 dogs recorded (53 adults · 18 puppies).

  • Female Miniature Poodle non-weight-bearing lame (Direct)

    A white female mini-poodle, ID 219, DOB 9-7-22, was observed to be non-weight bearing lame on the right front leg. The wrist joint was moderately swollen. The licensee reported the dog jumped off the grooming table (approximately 4 feet high) 2 days ago and has been limping since then. The licensee has not contacted the attending veterinarian and has not administered any treatments. Lameness is an important indicator of pain and/or musculoskeletal abnormality. A failure to properly identify lame dogs delays proper identification of the underlying cause which delays treatment and can prolong suffering. The licensee must communicate with the attending veterinarian to evaluate this animal and determine an appropriate plan for diagnosis and treatment. Correct by: March 9, 2024

    A female black and tan Yorkshire Terrier, date of birth 7-2-19, with the ID tag number 187 had a health condition requiring diagnosis and treatment in consultation with the attending veterinarian. There was a moderate build-up of hard brown material on the surface of the cheek teeth especially along the upper part of the teeth near the gum line. The gums did not appear red or swollen and the dog was in good body condition. The Program of Veterinary Care on file did not address the condition or provide any treatment options. The licensee had not observed the condition and had not contacted the attending veterinarian. The abnormal build-up of material on the teeth can cause damage to the gum tissue and tooth structures. This condition could be painful, may decrease the dog's ability to eat normally, and may result in spread of bacteria to other parts of the body such as liver and kidneys which can negatively impact the overall health of the animal.
