John H Lynch – Spring Pond Kennel

A brindle and white male Bulldog identified as Studly (Microchip ending in #943) was noted to have a squint to the left eye. The eye itself had an area on the ventral (lower) half of the corneal surface that appeared cloudy and the lower eyelid was rolling inwards so that the haired portion of the eyelid is rubbing against the eye itself. There did not appear to be significant reddening of the conjunctiva (membranes surrounding the eye), however, the skin folds under the affected eye were wet from what appeared to be excessive tearing.

A brindle and white male Bulldog identified as Heart Breaker (Microchip ending in #300) was noted to have a red fleshy mass in the corner of the right eye nearest the nose. The licensee stated that this dog had recently had treatment for cherry eye and entropion and that the veterinarian had informed her that there may be swelling post-operatively. The facilitys records confirmed that this dog had been identified and received surgery in February 2015 but had no further follow-up or any direction for follow-up from the veterinarian. The licensee stated that she intended to have the veterinarian look at this dog again when he came to conduct physical exams on all of the dogs (currently planned for June).

A fawn and white male Bulldog identified as Romeo (Microchip ending in #470) had a small area (approximately 1cm round) of hair loss on the right upper neck. The underlying skin was red and appeared both inflamed and moist with a small amount of crusts around the margin.

Wardens noted humidity levels above 70% in the main kennel building during this inspection.

Warden viewed that the kennel owner had transferred 1 dog over 8 weeks of age from out of state that were not accompanied by a proper CVI as required.
