Zoo Veterinarian Nolte Part 1
If you want to find out about disciplinary actions taken against a Maryland Veterinarian you first have to send the Maryland State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners a letter asking for the information. Through the Freedom of Information Act you can find out just what kind of problems there might be with a veterinarian and the animals they have had in their care.
I recently received a packet about Dr. Doug Nolte. It contains three consent agreements. The first two are concerning two cats that were sent in for routine care. The first case was about a year old cat that was sent in for routine shots and neutering. The cat was dropped off at Nolte's office on the morning of August 11, 2005. The owner retrieved the cat at 5:15pm that day. When the receptionist brought the cat out in its carrier, the owner noted the cat was laying flat on the bottom of the carrier and the owner asked if the cat was still sedated. The receptionist said the cat would be okay by the next day. "Dr. Nolte was not present and, for this reason, did not and could not examine 'the cat' to assess whether he had sufficiently recovered from the effects of the anesthetic agents". That evening the owner after seeing the cat looked worse, his gums were white and he was barley breathing, she takes the cat to Pet's E.R. where Dr. Drewer notes, "General appearance: quiet and lethargic, minimally responsive"; Musculoskeletal: cannot walk - even sit or lay sternally"; "Neuralgic: very depressed and stuporous." When Dr. Drewer tries to take the cats temperatureit was "too low to read on the thermometer." The cat is slowly warmed up and can be roused with a lot of effort by morning. The cat is then sent to Salisbury Animal Hospital where Dr. Hudson notes that it was "laterally recumbent and depressed." The cat had developed bradycardia (abnormally slow heartbeat). By the late afternoon the cat was able to stand on his own but was still not normal and was sent again to Pets E.R. so they could monitor it's condition. By the next morning the cat was sent home. In this case the Conclusion of Law was that patient information was not noted, weight, body condition temperature, pulse, respiration and submitted an undated record stating that he had used Ketamine and Xylazine on the cat instead of the more typical Isoflurine gas. He failed to monitor the cat post surgically and that " Dr. Nolte's treatment of this animal did not conform to the minimal standards of care".

This site is for the targets of the monster in Delmar. We will tolerate no negative personal attacks on any of them. If you want to comment to support them, that is welcome. You may not like all of them but that is not the point. The point is to show the malice and evil the monster has done and to collectively support his random targets. No gossip and no unkind words regarding any of these people will be published. The one exception of course, is the monster himself.
