An adult female Bulldog named Bonnie (m/c# OAO1782940) was missing a significant amount of hair from her back and sides and had scabs and reddened areas over much of her back and sides. She was scratching, chewing, and licking at the areas during the inspection. The licensee stated that the problem started about 2 weeks earlier and that she had not consulted a veterinarian about the problem. Skin problems can be painful, can lead to other medical conditions, and can be contagious to other animals. The licensee must have this dog examined and treated by a licensed veterinarian. She must maintain medical records concerning this condition and make them available to the inspector upon request. TO BE CORRECTED BY AUGUST 18th, 2014.
