What inspectors wrote
March 14, 2023 — Routine inspection, USDA 48-A-2036
55 dogs recorded (52 adults · 3 puppies).
Expired medications stored with current drugs
The following medications used to treat the dogs at the facility have gone past their labeled expiration dates. The recorded expiration date on one 100 ml bottle of Oxytocin was 10/13. The recorded expiration date on one 16 fluid oz bottle of Pyrantel Pamote Suspension was 07/06/22. There was one container of Ponazuril and one container on Amforal both had an expiration date of 12/31/22. These medications are intermingled with other products that are currently being used at the facility and are therefore ready for use. The usage of expired medical materials such as drugs, fluids, or sutures on regulated animals is not considered to be an acceptable veterinary practice and does not constitute adequate veterinary care. The effectiveness of the dosage level and expected results when expired drugs are administrated to animals could be drastically changed or may not work as anticipated. The expected results cannot be guaranteed and the animals may experience pain, distress due to mistreatment, unrelieved symptoms or unexpected side effects. Failure to properly label medications or other medical products as being expired and storing them with unexpired medical materials could lead to the unintentional use on regulated animals. The licensee must either dispose of all such expired medical drugs and materials or segregate them in an appropriately labeled, physically separate location from non-expired medical drugs and materials. Correct by 3/28/23.
Missing wallboard on outside wall
An estimated two by four inch area of missing wall board was observed on the outside wall. Two dogs are in contact with the affected surface area located on the outside wall of sheltered housing. Surfaces not maintained on a regular basis cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized. The missing surface area could harbor disease causing agents which affects the health and well-being of the dogs. The licensee must ensure all surfaces are being maintained on a regular basis. Surfaces that cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized, must be replaced when worn or soiled or altered in a manner that allows for cleaning and sanitation to occur. Correct by 4/14/23.
