Samuel S Beachy – Clark, MO

Male Maltese #82 had brownish-black dried material, clumped with the hair on the inside corner of the left eye. After the licensee removed most of the clumped material, the skin underneath was redden and moist. The area was missing hair, and had a 1/4 inch oval lesion next to the tear duct. This dog was on the previous inspection report for the grey spot on the left eye, which was addressed. This lesion could be the result of an injury, infection, or other veterinary medical condition which may be painful. The licensee must consult with a licensed veterinarian regarding this animal condition in order to ensure that an appropriate treatment plan is developed and followed. The licensee must ensure that all animals receive adequate veterinary care at all times.
