- Expired rabies vaccine vials on hand
There are three expired vials of rabies vaccines in the refrigerator that is used for medication storage. When asked if the facility has any other vials of rabies vaccine that is being used or available the facility representative stated these are the only vials on hand. The vials have an expiration date stamp of 09 July 2024. When reviewing the medical records for the dogs in the kennel 2 adult dogs (#2444 and #2442) were administered a rabies vaccine on 10 August 2024 and 15 September 2024 which is past the expiration date of the vials on hand. Medications being used past the expiration date have unknown efficacy and potency; thus, they may no longer be efficacious for the labeled indications of use. Correct by ensuring that the facility is using the appropriate methods to prevent and control diseases. Correct by 22 October 2024 and from this day forward
- Poodle and Dachshund vaccines not up to date
The facility is not following the program of veterinary care for vaccinations. The Program of Veterinary Care currently prescribes dogs will be vaccinated for rabies at 16 weeks of age, booster at 1 year, and every 3 years going forward. The program currently prescribes dogs will be vaccinated for leptospirosis at 11 weeks of age, 16 weeks of age, and annually going forward. 3 adult dogs are not up to date on their rabies vaccine as they did not receive the 1-year booster: -#6247 -#7972 -#7971 2 poodles approximately 22 weeks of age are not up to date on their rabies or leptospirosis vaccines: -#3697 -#3689 2 dachshunds approximately 24 weeks of age are not up to date on their rabies or leptospirosis vaccines: -#5235 -#5237 Failure to follow the preventative care schedule for vaccinations in the Program of Veterinary Care does not ensure the dogs are receiving appropriate protection against contagious and deadly diseases such as distemper, parvo, leptospirosis, and rabies which can lead to illness and discomfort to the dogs. The facility must follow the vaccination schedule approved by the attending veterinarian in the Program of Veterinary Care to protect the dogs from deadly or contagious diseases.
