Male Chihuahua puppy nearly nonresponsive(Direct)
A male Chihuahua puppy (M-261-22, DOB 11/1/2022) was in an enclosure with 2 litter mates and their dam. This puppy was in very poor condition, almost nonresponsive to the littermate trying to play with him. His hair coat was rough and he was about half the size of his littermates. One litter mate tugged on his ear and the owner was instructed to remove the puppy from the enclosure. The licensee was called during the inspection to gather information about any diagnosis and treatment. He stated that he had called the veterinarian a couple days ago and was instructed to give the puppy milk and syrup. This treatment was not effective but the licensee did not contact the veterinarian for further evaluation and a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. There was no medical record of the puppy's illness and treatment. The puppy was placed in a separate enclosure with a heat lamp. Failure to correctly communicate issues of abnormal animal health or lack of response to instructed treatment to the attending veterinarian in a timely manner, is not adequate veterinary care. Without adequate veterinary care, an animal’s condition may worsen, and if infectious, can spread to other individuals. Correct by ensuring that animals and conditions are reported to the attending veterinarian so that the animals can be properly examined, diagnosed, and treated.
