* Dry, crusted, matted hair under both eyes of one adult male, white colored Bichon Frise ( tag number 111 ) was observed. The dog quickly pulled his head away when the area under the right eye was touched. The affected area under both eyes was an estimated 3/4 inch in diameter. On July 25, 2016 this dog was examined and the affected area was treated by a licensed veterinarian for ulcerated periocular dermatitis found under the matted hair. The dog was rechecked by a licensed veterinarian one week later. The licensee was instructed to use a "NeoPolyBac" topical on the affected area until the ulcerated regions was gone and to keep the hair trimmed from around the eyes to prevent recurrence of the problem. The licensee was instructed to call the veterinarian within one to two weeks if this issue was not resolved. At the time of inspection, the attending veterinarian had not been called back and the problem still remains. Dried fluid discharge in the hair coat can be painful and irritating causing discomfort and can lead to a potential spread of infection. The licensee must have this animal reexamined by a veterinarian and have an appropriate treatment plan administrated. The outcome of this examination must be documented and provided to the inspector upon request. The licensee must ensure that all animals receive adequate veterinary care at all times. * The two dogs cited under veterinary care section 2.40 b 2 as a repeat noncompliance on the July 20, 2016 inspection report. The two dogs Darla ( number 04-1 ) and Bandit ( number 507 ) were examined by a licensed veterinarian. This was verified directly with the attending veterinarian. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the licensee. Additional Inspectors Shaver Margaret, Veterinary Medical Officer
