The nature of Respondent's previous violations and the fact that he repeated those same violations makes him carrying a license an imminent peril to the public. Respondent's actions are also actual hazards to the health, safety, or economic welfare of the public because the economic property of various clients was harmed in that the animal died due to Respondent's actions or the animal needed further veterinary services to repair the damage Respondent's actions caused. Violations include release of a client's confidential information and status as a Complainant of the clinic to clinic's other clients leading to harassment of the client; repeated failure to record required information on patient chart; repeated allowance of non-veterinarian employees to test, diagnose, treat, and provide a prognosis for patients; failure to keep proper controlled substance logs resulting in an inability to discern from the drug logbook whether controlled substances were being used appropriately or being abused. The sheer number of violations of the Board's Rules that have the same or similar factual circumstances underpinning them, in addition to Respondent's issuing of rabies certifications that fraudulently allege the absence of the animal disease rabies, constitute an imminent peril to the public under Board Rule 575.25.

While waiting for that veterinarian to arrive, the client questioned the continued anesthesia, but Respondent indicated that it was safe.

He also failed to provide documentation of the required 17 continuing education (CE) hours for each of calendar years 2011, 2012, and 2013, although he previously represented to the board with each annual license renewal that he had obtained them. He had prior Board orders relating to DPS licensure and CE. On June 19, 2014, a 14-year-old Golden retriever mix named December was presented to Respondent for euthanasia. The owner asked that it be performed in her truck, so she could take December home to bury him. Respondent asked the owner if she would like December sedated for the procedure and she agreed. The sedative did not work. During the euthanasia, Respondent unsuccessfully attempted to administer the euthanasia solution at least four times and then offered to give it directly into December’s heart. He was unable to properly locate the heart. Due to the emotional stress of the situation, the owner had to leave her vehicle and enter the clinic. Respondent later informed her that December had passed away. The owner of the clinic reported several prior incidents to the Board related to standard of care. After the incident with December, the owner of the clinic terminated his employment.	of veterinary license in lieu of discipline. Do not seek reinstatement for 5 years.

Kothmann, Kody Kody Kothmann DVM	4337	Lubbock	2014-06	01/27/2015	Standard of Care; Patient Record Keeping;	On Sunday, January 20, 2013, a 4-year-old Dachshund named Star went into labor during a road trip from NM to TX. Her owner had been advised by her regular DVM that Star would likely need a Cesarean section due to her small size. At approximately 8:45 am, Star was presented to Respondent. He told the owner that he wanted to see if she could deliver without surgery. He administered dexamethasone, penicillin, and oxytocin. Respondent told the owner to take Star to her vehicle and supervise her while he tended to a horse patient. Before he left, he collected 4149 from the owner for services to that point. Respondent called the owner at 9:39 am, 9:44 am, and 9:57 am, and the owner reported that there had been no progress. Respondent arrived back at the clinic at ~10:30 am and proceeded to operate on Star using a combination of xylazine and ketamine as anesthesia. One large puppy and one small puppy were successfully delivered via Cesarean section. The patient medical records did not contain details necessary to substantiate the examination or surgery, the names, dosages, or concentrations of each drug administered, nor substantiation of examination of the puppies. Nonetheless, Respondent’s records showed that at least one of the puppies received dozapram and fluids.	Formal Reprimand; $1,000 admin. penalty; 3 add'l hrs. CE in Record Keeping

At this time, the client reported that Air was lethargic,seemed to have difficulty breathing, and had started to drag her back legs. Respondent has no medical record for any treatment on this date.

On January 29, Peanut was presented to another DVM at Respondent’s clinic for removal of four mammary masses. The surgery was uneventful. On February 2, Peanut returned for bleeding of the incision. Peanut was anesthetized and the incision was reopened. Upon further questioning, the owner related the visit 9 days earlier and showed the bottle of Vitamin K that had been prescribed by Respondent. The Vitamin K dose was increased and prescribed for an additional 28 tablets. 2016-125: A rat terrier named Lady was presented to Respondent who diagnosed diabetes and prescribed insulin and steroids.

Mosley, Stefanie Stefanie Mosley DVM aka Stefanie Rogers DVM see here	12527	Dallas	2017-101	01/16/2018	Professional Standard of Care; Responsibility of Veterinarian to Refer a Case; Veterinarian Patient Record Keeping	On September 20, 2013, a 10-year-old quarter horse named Harvey was presented to Respondent for treatment of a right forelimb laceration. Harvey was examined and found to have grade 2 lameness with moderate tissue damage and swelling and a temperature of 100.8. He was mildly sedated, and the wound was sutured. Respondent said the wound closed easily on caudal aspect but was very tight on the cranial aspect and did not close completely. She applied a bandage, dispensed antibiotics, and gave the client instructions to perform hydrotherapy once a day and continue the Banamine as needed. Respondent stated that she cautioned the client that the sutures may not hold and to keep the wound bandaged. Respondent did not adequately evaluate whether there was joint involvement. Harvey returned for a recheck by Respondent a week later. The wound was not completely closed, very thickened, with mild hemorrhagic and purulent discharge. Some of the sutures had fallen out. Respondent stated that she was unable to suture the wound due to swelling but cleaned, treated, and rebandaged it. She stated that she discussed hospitalizing Harvey but the medical records do not reflect this. Respondent dispensed additional antibiotics, and gave the client instructions to continue the hydrotherapy and change the bandage daily with Granulex. Six weeks later, on November 8, the medical record reflected that Respondent saw Harvey again, but the client stated that Lucy Pustejovsky, DVM (another veterinarian at the clinic) was the only veterinarian she spoke to that day. The medical records stated that Harvey's right front fetlock was swollen and painful but that no significant lameness, drainage, or discharge from the wound was observed. Xrays revealed significant soft tissue swelling with narrow joint space. Respondent stated that she consulted with another veterinarian and recommended an ultrasound and joint tap, but the client denied this, and the recommendation was not recorded in the medical records. Respondent sent Harvey home with the same treatment and did not refer Harvey to a specialist or to another veterinarian for additional evaluation and treatment. Respondent did not examine Harvey again after that. He was later referred to Texas A&M, transferred there on December 4, and eventually euthanized on April 24, 2014 after several months of care for a severe joint infection.

Ally was diagnosed with Westie Lung Disease or idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Her condition was guarded, but she improved with treatment. An echocardiogram was recommended. On August 7, Ally presented to Respondent for her first echocardiogram. She diagnosed Ally with severe pulmonary hypertension and increased Ally's sildenafil. On August 23, Ally was presented to another provider at a different clinic who performed another echocardiogram and diagnosed moderate pulmonary hypertension which indicated that the sildenafil was helping. By December of 2017, the client wanted to decrease the medication dosage, so he contacted several providers to get this accomplished. Respondent agreed to reevaluate Ally. On January 4, 2018, she performed another echocardiogram. She had difficulty performing the pressure test and informed the client of this. Despite the faulty test, Respondent diagnosed Ally with moderate pulmonary hypertension and recommended she stay on the same course of treatment. Respondent did not refer Ally to a cardiologist or other specialist for further diagnostics or treatment. The client requested a refund for the echocardiogram or another one free of charge; his request was declined, reportedly because it was believed the sildenafil was working, a repeat echocardiogram would not provide value because pressures change day by day, and Ally should be seen by a board-certified cardiologist.

Respondent’s patient records for Bo did not include any information about daily observations, when Respondent was watching for signs of possible rabies.

Such communications and instructions were not in the medical records.	Informal reprimand, $500 admin. penalty, 6 hrs add'l CE.

Stern, John John Stern DVM	3482	Needville	2015-032	01/27/2015	Responsibility of Veterinarian to Refer a Case	A 2-year-old neutered dog named Bolt was presented to a DVM at the Needville Animal Hospital for examination of a growth on the right hind foot. She recommended removal of the growth, which was performed the following morning by Respondent who owns the hospital. The original DVM said the Respondent made “relatively wide surgical margins” that appeared appropriate to her. She further wrote that she had “some concern with the amount of tension Respondent applied to bring the skin edges into apposition and whether the incision line would remain closed.” She further stated that, as a surgeon, it is Respondent’s discretion to determine the appropriate method for closing the wound. The owner picked up Bolt on October 22, 2013 at approximately 5:30 pm and was instructed to keep Bolt’s bandage on and to bring him in for a follow up appointment the next week. Bolt was discharged with an Elizabethan collar and prescribed medications. The owners were compliant with the postoperative care instructions, but Bolt had complications resulting in return to the clinic on repeated occasions and hospitalization October 28 through November 3. On November 4, Respondent informed the owner that Bolt had chewed at his paw so Respondent had sutured the Elizabethan collar to his neck. At approximately 7:40 pm that day, the owners picked up Bolt, noticed that his paw was completely gone and that bone was visible. They presented him immediately to a 24-hour emergency clinic where Bolt was found to be in extreme pain. Bolt’s leg was amputated by a Specialist on November 6 who stated that Respondent’s actions were not appropriate practice and that referral early in the course of treatment would have been most appropriate.

Owner brought Amos and Ice Cream to Dr. Wheat for Respondent to perform neuter procedures on them both. Amos died after the anesthetic was administered, but before the surgery was started. The Board has received information from a former employee of the Clinic that Amos was sedated and then left without anyone supervising Amos in the surgery room. The Board has also received information from another former employee of the Clinic that Amos was readied for surgery and then the veterinary technician went to the mail box leaving the animal unmonitored in the surgery room. Directly after the veterinary technician returned to the surgery room from the mail box, a medical emergency occurred and she saw that Amos was not breathing. When the owner went to the Clinic to see Amos, she also asked to see Ice Cream. She was told Ice Cream wasn't ready to leave. After the owner left, Respondent performed a second surgery due to Ice Cream's bleeding. She did not tell owner about the second surgery or bleeding until the informal conference. Further, the second surgery is not documented in Ice Cream's records. The owner later picked up Ice Cream. Respondent released him while he was still unconscious and non-ambulatory, as he had to be carried to owner's car.  Further, Ice Cream was unconscious at home until 6:30 p.m. Ice Cream developed a post-surgical infection within four days of Respondent completing the neuter procedure. Ice Cream's infection was treated at the Isbell Vet Services in Arkansas for the infection on April 14,2014. Dr. Isbell noted that there was moderate swelling of the dog's scrotum and that the incision site was inflamed and necrotic. After Dr. Isbell debrided the necrotic tissue from the incision, cleaned the site, injected some drugs into the area, and dispensed antibiotics. Ice Cream's infection seemed to have cleared. Respondent's medical records lack routes of administration and concentrations for drugs administered, temperatures for the animals, details necessary to substantiate any examinations, and appear to have alterations or supplementations that were not added contemporaneously and are not indicated with a time and date of the amendment or alteration. The records further lack information detailing the second surgery for Ice Cream. Finally, the records appear to have portions deleted by "white-out;" however, Respondent is not able to provide the original records for inspection by the Board to attempt to determine what information was deleted.

White, Larry Larry White DVM	3341	Houston	2015-058	07/21/2015	Supervision of Non-Veterinarians	On July 16, 2014, the Houston Police Department arrested Wilfredo Gutierrez for practicing veterinary medicine without a license. Mr. Gutierrez was later charged with possession of a controlled substance group less than I gram, a state jail felony. Mr. Gutierrez was in possession of six syringes labeled buprenorphine, one syringe labeled morphine, several boxes of prescription required vectra, and various unidentified pills and tablets. The syringes also contained the names Atlas, Felix, Hudson, and Sable. Mr. Gutierrez had an additional three syringes labeled buprenorphine labeled Saighl, Sunni, and Tango. During questioning by the Houston Police Department, Mr. Gutierrez stated that he was employed by Respondent. The Board conducted an inspection of Respondent at the Briarcrest Veterinary Clinic (the "Clinic"), which Respondent owns, on July 16, 2014. Respondent confirmed that he employed Mr. Gutierrez as a part time kennel technician. Dr. Leslie Brennan, also employed by Respondent, confirmed that the handwriting on the labels on the syringes in Mr. Gutierrez's possession appeared to belong to two former Clinic employees. Patient records were obtained for the names that appeared on the labels of the syringes. The records included prescriptions for the drugs within the syringes and with the same dosage as was in the syringes. Patient records were not available for three of the names on the syringe labels. Respondent reported to the Board that his Clinic's kennel staff assist in administering injections of buprenorphine to overnight surgery patients. The drugs would be drawn into the syringe and left out for the kennel staff, including Mr. Gutierrez, to administer to the animals that stayed overnight at the Clinic.  Respondent violated rule 573.10 which requires a licensed veterinarian to properly delegate care andl/or treatment duties to a non-veterinarian.

When the owner picked up Ava and two other dogs, she noticed that Ava was lethargic, appeared to be in pain, and had dried and fresh blood down inside both of her hind legs. She further observed blood actively dripping from Ava’s abdomen with a large, softball sized hematoma at the incision site. The shelter’s owner contacted Respondent who told her to “wrap” Ava and send her home. The owner said such treatment was unacceptable and she took Ava to an emergency clinic where Ava was treated by another DVM with a $1,946.06 surgery. That DVM stated that Respondent did not meet the standard of care. He thought Ava was neglected by Respondent. He stated that the procedure was performed carelessly without proper protocol or ligation of major vessels. Ava would have died without his surgical intervention. Two other DVMs at the emergency clinic seconded that opinion. On January 27, 2015, Respondent and the Board agreed to Order 2015-002. In addition to other violations, that order disciplined Respondent for allowing lay people to perform surgeries at the shelter.	Revoked. Do not seek reinstatement for 5 years.
