| 22437 | fb7b6f4ba32491f4 | 2.40(a)(1) | 0 | ATTENDING VETERINARIAN AND ADEQUATE VETERINARY CARE (DEALERS AND EXHIBITORS). | A current Program of Veterinary Care (PVC) was not available for review during this inspection. Licensees' with part time attending veterinarians must have a formal written arrangement with a veterinarian (PVC). This is required so that USDA personnel can confirm that the licensee is working with a veterinarian and is following the recommendations from that veterinarian. A program of veterinary care needs to be developed for this facility by the attending veterinarian that includes recommendations for all regulated species at the facility. Examples of some of the topics to be covered in the PVC are: *The veterinarian's schedule for visits to the facility. *Parasite control program if appropriate for the species. *Vaccination recommendations if appropriate for the species. *Routine medical testing if appropriate for the species. *Instructions on necropsies for unexpected deaths. *Any other recommendations the veterinarian feels necessary for this facility. *Emergency contact information. *Veterinarian's signature and date. This document must indicate to USDA that you and your veterinarian have an active working relationship. To be corrected immediately. |
