MOST RECENT MEDICAL INFORMATION AND WEIGHT
11/09/2016 Exam Type RE-EXAM – Medical Rating is 3 C – MAJOR CONDITIONS , Behavior Rating is NONE, Weight 75.0 LBS.

ACT brought pt down to Medical after hurting his ear outside while exercising. There is a small laceration (< 1 cm long) in the lateral margin of the ear pinna. There is mild bleeding. Ear wounds can be slow to heal because they are frequently re-traumatized when the dog shakes his head. This may bleed profusely but it should heal with time. Additionally, pt is hacking and coughing quite a bit this morning, even when not exercising or pulling on the leash. CIRDC is likely, in addition to neck irritation from pulling. Move to isolation and start doxycycline 350 mg PO SID x10 days. 1088

Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Milo’s previous owner cites “Milo has lived with a small mini Poodle, Milo was relaxed around him but usually does not interact with the dog.” Milo plays exuberantly with male and female dogs. Often times, Milo attempts to mount dogs during play, and persists despite receiving warning or correction from them. Milo often engages in rough play, running, mouthing, and using his paws frequently to solicit. Based on observation made while in our care, the behavior department recommends slow introductions between Milo and other resident dogs. Milo may be most compatible with other highly playful dogs, or those who are tolerant of high energy play and interaction. 11/3: When introduced off leash to other dogs in the care center, Milo enters the pen with a low, submissive body posture- he zoomies through the pen and paw slaps other dogs, and cowers away when corrected. 11/4: Milo engages in similar play with dogs that engage in a rougher playstyle. He will mount males and will roll over when he is mounted. 11/5-11/9: Milo continues to engage in rough play but is more intent on mounting today (both males and females).
