           WEEKLY REPORT OF 20JAN91
           FROM: SPC NELMS, SPS VETERINARY SUPPORT HOSPITAL, KHAMIS

           SEQUENCE NUMBER:' 2


           MAJOR SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITIES:
                Veterinary equipment arrived on 15JAN91. I set up clinic and began
           running gick calls. As of 20JAN91, 12 dogs have had physical exams; urinalysis
           wag done on all 18 dogs and 5 fecals were performed, two results were positive
           for hookworms. I am getting stool samples from the other dogs for fecal
           analysis. Urinalygis revealed most dogs are slightly dehydrated (dark, opaque
           urine with strong odor), with large amounts of protien and high PH. Average
           specific gravity was between 1.050-1.060.
                Daily routine consists of feeding dogs, and doing daily checks and
           treatments. Lab work is performed as needed and the appropriate paperwork is
           completed. The ODS Military Working Dog Data Sheets are almost finished and I
           will forward them to the 320th Vet HQ once they are completed.
                We are having a small infestation of ticks due to the areas the dogs are
           patrolling. The handlers are very aware of this problem and are doing closer
           checks of their animals. I have nu dip or spray available to me. I'm
           requesting enough dip for all 18 dogs.
                As I stated in my last report, I have six dogs overdue for
           rabies/distemper vaccinations. A refrigerator has been obtained for the clinic
           and vaccine can be sent at earliest possible date.

           SUPPLY REQUEST:
                Strongid-T or other de-worra medication
                Efa-Z Plus diet supplement for dermatoses
                Flea and tick spray and/or dip
           Efa-Z Plus is given to four dogs as part of daily Tx. This treatment was
           prescribed by a veterinarian for severe coat and skin problems. Supply is very
           low.


           MAJOR PROBLEMS:
      KANE       B141        MALE           11 YEARS OLD

           progressively gotten worse. Animal is limping @i@-,hu'                  red and

           Animal convistantly has bloody tail and kennel from repeatedly beating tail on
           the sides of kennel. The legion on his tail involves the entire tip and a
           small portion below the tip. I was advised to remove the kennel from the dog's
           area and to inject Iml. 'Aethyl Trednisolone into the area near lesion.
           However, this medication could not be procured. Checking with a veterinarian,
