Female Maltese with feces-matted tail(Direct)
A white, female Maltese (unable to acquire ID) was observed in a sitting position and scooting her rear end across the floor of the enclosure. Closer observation of this animal revealed a large, hard, dried clump of feces tightly attached to the hair on the underside of the base of the tail and covering the anus. There are also numerous smaller clumps of feces matted within the hair surrounding the dogs anus. Feces that have become trapped in the dogs hair coat can cause pain or discomfort and could lead to further health issues for the dog. The licensee must remove all the feces from this dogs hair coat. The licensee must develop an effective plan for hair coat maintenance to ensure that feces will not become entrapped within the hair coat of any of the dogs. Correction date: End of business on December 09, 2015
