An unnamed technician placed the dog on the surgery board for July 16, 2016, and assigned the surgery to Respondent, who was the veterinarian on surgery duty that day. Respondent performed a physical examination of Zeus, but did not review Zeus's patient records. After pre-medication and anesthetization, Respondent requested that Dr. Lavigne assist him by either completing a dental procedure that Respondent had begun or by performing Zeus's surgery. Dr. Lavigne elected to perform Zeus's surgery. As Respondent prepared to go into surgery, Dr. Lavigne could not detect a heartbeat. Dr. Lavigne and Respondent attempted resuscitation for approximately 35 minutes, but could not revive Zeus. The medical records do not indicate that Dr. Lavigne assisted Respondent in providing this care and treatment to Zeus. Blood was drawn prior to pre-medication and anesthetization, but it was not processed before the surgery began. Thus, Respondent did not review any bloodwork prior to authorizing Zeus to be anesthetized for surgery. At approximately 2 p.m., Respondent telephoned owner to inform her that Zeus had died.

Respondent boarded a canine, Jax, at her facility from March 13, 2021 to March 20, 2021. After the canine was picked up by the owners, he was subsequently taken to an emergency clinic for ulcers on his back legs and possible urine scalding. Jax was ultimately euthanized due to his injuries. On May 20, 2021, the Williamson County Sherriff's Office executed a search warrant on the respondemt's premises. TBVME conducted a simultaneous inspection. The surgery room was found to be in an unsanitary condition. Some  of the kennels for boarding had urine and feces and some boarded animals did not have access to water; although the majority of these animals were scheduled for surgery which necessitated them being placed on NPO orders by respondent. Animal Control officers determined that the boarded animals were not being provided adequate care and seized all the animals. On the date of inspection, respondent could not produce some of the requested medical records or controlled substances logs. Respondent's controlled substances cabinet was not secured. On June 16, 2021, Williamson County issued an arrest warrant for respondent alleging violations of Texas Penal Code Section 42.092, Cruelty to Non- Livestock Animals.

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. Animals affected by this Respondent include Spanky, Apollo, Butch, Gabby, Jericho, Koko, Peaches, Taco, Triscuit, and more.

CP21-423 06/13/2022 Professional Standard of Care; Veterinarian Patient Record Keeping; Impaired by Chemical Dependency on Drugs or Alcohol or by Mental Illness
On May 6, 2021, while examining a cat that had presented for stomach issues, Respondent was bitten on his hand then grabbed the cat by the scruff of its neck, threw it against the wall, and then stomped on it several times. He treated the cat for its presenting signs and returned it to the client without disclosing the bite and his reaction. He also failed to document this in the patient's medical records. The client called Respondent 2 days later expressing concern that her cat had not eaten, didn't want to move around, and had fallen off the bed. On May 8, 2021, Respondent took xrays and found a fractured hip. Rather than explain the cause, he instead talked the client into euthanizing the cat due to its age and ailments in order to conceal his misconduct. He also omitted documentation in the patient records to conceal his misconduct. Respondent manifested violent and angry behavior toward the cat due to an underlying mental problem impairing his ability to perform a professional service. On April 27, 2022, the board temporarily suspended Respondent's license after receiving notice that he abused a pet and was being investigated for animal cruelty by the Conroe Police Department-Case #21050448. On May 11, 2022, a panel of the Enforcement Committee of the TBVME found after at least two separate occasions, after manifesting anger fits, Respondent physically abused animal patients in his veterinary clinic in 2021. Respondent's continued practice of veterinary medicine constituted a continuing imminent threat to the public welfare. Thus, the temporary suspension was continued.
Temporary Suspension Order 04/27/2022

Thereafter, 5 yr. stayed suspension; Probation entire term; other conditions outlined in order; $5,000 admin. penalty; 6 hrs. add'l CE; Peer Assistance Program participation

Lacey developed a small sore on her cheek that began oozing overnight. The next day, Lacey was presented to Respondent for examination and treatment of the oozing and the abscessed tooth. Respondent performed lab work and said that he wanted to wait until the antibiotics resolved the infection before extracting the tooth. On November 29, 2916, Respondent contacted the client to tell her the blood work was unremarkable besides a low T4, and he scheduled a tooth extraction for December 6. The client called respondent on November 30 and December 1 to report that Lacey was hardly eating and getting weaker. On December 5, Lacey had not improved, so the client brought her back to Respondent. Upon presentation, Lacey was clinically worse and her infection had progressed. Respondent said he did not feel Lacey was healthy enough to be anesthetized to perform the procedure. Respondent hospitalized Lacey overnight. The next day, Lacey had not improved and the swelling had increased. Respondent offered to refer Lacey toanother veterinarian and also discussed quality of life and euthanasia. The client took Lacey home that day and brought her to another veterinarian the following day. That veterinarian scheduled Lacey to be seen by a board-certified veterinary dental specialist on December 8. The specialist performed surgery and extracted several teeth and portions of bone that had deteriorated. Lacey recovered from surgery but continued to decline and was euthanized on December 16.

On October 23, 2019, a dog named Rowdy was presented to a veterinarian clinic after ingesting a tampon. Xrays showed an obstruction. The examining veterinarian referred the client to the hospital for IV fluids and to bring Rowdy back the next day for surgery if the obstruction didn't pass. The obstruction didn't pass, so the client brought Rowdy back. Respondent was on duty and did not want to perform the surgery because the obstruction had moved a little. The client opted for surgery. Respondent administered two enemas and sent Rowdy home to be observed for one more day. The client returned the next day when he did not pass the obstruction, and the veterinarians suggested euthanasia but the client refused. S/he took Rowdy to another veterinarian who immediately performed surgery, found three perforations causing leakage of fecal matter into the abdomen, and gave Rowdy a 50/50 chance to survive (due to the delay in surgery). The next day Rowdy passed away.

She pleaded guilty to a Class B misdemeanor on April 18, 2018, was sentenced to serve 3 days in county jail, and to pay a fine. Shedid not report her conviction to the board. On June 29, 2018, during an on-site inspection by the board, Respondent did not have a controlledsubstance log for injectable morphine despite invoices showing the purchase of several vials. On repeated occasions between Februarythrough April 2018, Respondent used the morphine to treat herself for migraines. Following the inspection, Respondent surrendered her DEA registration and all controlled substances on hand.

She also allowed her husband, an unauthorized individual, access to controlled drugs from her practice for the purpose ofinjecting her with the drugs on April 4, 2018. On July 10, 2018, a hearing was held before the Executive Committee of the board, and theydecided that her license shoudl remain suspended.
