Written Program of Veterinary Care. 1. The written Program of Veterinary Care (PVC) dated 5/5/14 available for review was incomplete. New species of animals have been acquired by the Licensee since the PVC was prepared (skunk, sugar gliders, fennec fox, and degu) but none of these species of animals are mentioned in the PVC. In addition, insufficient detail is provided for the methods of routine parasite control to be used for the animals (drug, dose, route of administration). Per this Section of the Regulations, the written PVC should include complete information about the methods to be used to prevent and control diseases for each species of animal held by the licensee (including vaccines routinely administered and any other recommended health practices), and should be updated whenever new species of animals are added or whenever changes to recommended methods are made. The written PVC needs to be updated to reflect the new species of animals and to include the additional details of recommended medical care. Correct by 10/31/16.
