Sometime between 12/5/2015 and 12/9/2015 a drinking water supply line for 3 rhesus macaques became disconnected. Upon discovery of the disconnected line on 12/9/2015, the three animals required specialized IV fluid therapy. Two animals recovered after treatment; however one animal decompensated and was humanely euthanized. The facility must ensure that non-human primates receive water either continuously but no less than twice daily for an hour each time or as per veterinary treatments or as IACUC approved research protocols require. Note: The facility previously identified this incident and reported it to the overseeing ACUC and also reported it to USDA. Correction: Ensure corrective actions are taken and that procedures in place are properly followed. The inspection of non-human primates and related records of the Graduate School and the College of Letters and Science was conducted from 1/5/2016 thru 1/7/2016. The exit interview was conducted by the undersigned VMO and VMO Barksdale with facility representatives on 1/8/2016. Additional Inspectors Barksdale Dawn, Veterinary Medical Officer
