A female bulldog, (Emily, ID# 0A02130565) had problems with her right eye. In the center area of the eye (cornea) there was an area about 1/8 inch wide that was slightly raised and the tissue surrounding it was pale/cloudy in color. The area around the eyeball was brighter red indicating active irritation. The attending veterinarian was present at the inspection and said that employees had not reported this dog's problem and that it had not been noticed prior to inspection. The attending veterinarian reported that he would begin treatment on this dog's eye. Eye problems can be painful, can have many different causes and if left untreated can get worse. The facility must ensure that eye problems needing treatment are promptly noticed and treated. To be corrected by, 16-October-2016.
