There is a female, approximately one year old, brindle and white English Bulldog ("Miss Charlie" - No ID) with cloudy eyes. There is a pale yellow to green discharge and crusting on the left eyelid. The white of both eyes is severely reddened. This same animal was documented on the December 4, 2013 inspection report. The animal was evaluated by a veterinarian and prescribed treatment. The facility representative states this animal has not improved with treatment and has not been re-evaluated by a veterinarian. The representative states the dog requires daily, life-long treatment. Treatment is documented for this dog within the month of December 2013, but there is no other documentation showing the dog has received the prescribed treatment since December. Eye abnormalities can be a sign of a serious medical condition and can cause unnecessary pain and discomfort. The animal listed above must be examined by a licensed veterinarian in order to ensure that an accurate diagnosis is obtained and an appropriate treatment plan is developed and followed. This information, including the diagnosis, treatment and resolution of the condition, must be documented and made available to the inspector upon request. This dog must be evaluated by a veterinarian by 5:00 pm on April 9th, 2014
There is one brindle and white, approximately one year old, female English Bulldog ("Miss Charlie") with No ID available to the inspector. The facility representative states that all animals have been ID'd but could not produce ID information for this animal. Individual identification is required in order to ensure that each animal's identity can be known with certainty and to facilitate record keeping requirements. All live dogs on the premises must be officially identified with a tag, tattoo or microchip and this identification information must be made available to the inspector.
Structure; construction. Within the "big dog kennel", the ceiling is not in good repair. The ceiling has two layers and the top layer is falling apart.

There are nine dogs in this portion of the facility. This ceiling is not in good repair and if parts of the ceiling fell down into the animal enclosure it could cause illness or injury to the animals. Housing facilities must be designed and constructed so that they are structurally sound. They must be kept in good repair and they must protect the animals from injury.

The licensee must remove the unused materials from the dog enclosure. The licensee must ensure that all used dog enclosures remain free of clutter in order to promote the health and well-being of the dogs. Correction date: July 30, 2016

Falcore has 5 puppies born on February 26, Fiona has 1 puppy born on March 7, Molly has 1 puppy born on March 22, and Lacey has 3 puppies born on March 24. The PVC schedules puppies to be treated with Pyrantel at 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 10 weeks of age. There are medical records for the puppies written on a physical calendar in addition to records recorded in a computer program. The calendar shows that all puppies were treated with Pyrantel on April 6 and April 26. On the respective dates of each of those treatments, Falcore’s puppies were 5 and 8 weeks old, Fiona’s were 4 and 7 weeks, and Molly and Lacey’s were about 2 and 5 weeks.

Falcore’s puppies were 6 weeks old, Fiona’s 5 weeks, and Molly and Lacey’s about 3 weeks. There are no other fenbendazole treatments for the puppies on the calendar.

The facility also has 3 weaned puppies about twelve weeks old from another litter that may be included in the “12 puppies”. Falcore’s puppies were 5 and 7 weeks old on those dates respectively, Fiona’s 4 and 6weeks, and Molly and Lacey’s were not yet 5 weeks old when either were given. The computer records, like those for parasite treatments, have a different schedule for these vaccines, but do not record that any vaccines were given. The PVC also includes a schedule for Bordetella vaccine, but there is no record of Bordetella being given to any of the puppies.
