  • Antibiotic powder used off-label

    The licensee stated that she is giving the dogs Tylosin Soluble Powder as an electrolyte source and 1/8th of a teaspoon of the Tylosin is added to the water of dams with litters of puppies. The label on the Tylosin Powder says that it is an antibiotic and it is to be used in turkeys, chickens, swine and honeybees. The use of the Tylosin Powder is not documented as part of the Program of Veterinary Care and there is no other additional information indicating the Attending Veterinarian has approved the off-label use of this product, how often it should be used, and the dosage that should be given to dogs. The off-label use of a product must be approved by the attending veterinarian to ensure that it is safe for the dogs to consume and it is being appropriately used. Each dealer must use appropriate methods to prevent and control diseases and injuries. The licensee must have the use of the Tylosin Powder approved by the Attending Veterinarian. The licensee must also ensure that the use of any product off-label is approved by the Attending Veterinarian in order to protect the health and well-being of the dogs.

    At least three enclosures, housing a total of 3 adult dogs and 10 puppies, have plastic food and water bowls that have been excessively chewed and damaged by the dogs. The damaged surfaces of the food and water bowls cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized which could increase the risk of disease towards the dogs. All surfaces must be maintained on a regular basis. Surfaces of housing facilities-including objects within the facility-that cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized must be replaced when worn or soiled. The licensee must remove, replace, or alter the damaged bowls in a manner that allows for cleaning and sanitization of the surfaces to occur.

Each dealer shall follow an appropriate program of veterinary care that is developed, documented in writing, signed by the attending veterinarian and includes a complete physical examination from head to tail of each dog by the attending veterinarian not less than once every 12 months.

  • No heartworm or fecal testing plan

    The licensee has not been testing the dogs for heartworm or intestinal parasites (fecals) and the Program of Veterinary Care does not contain a written plan for heartworm and fecal testing.

    The Program of Veterinary Care is incomplete and the preventative care plans for maintaining healthy and unmatted hair coats, properly trimmed toenails, and healthy eyes, ears, skin, and teeth are missing.
