.- To: Larry Callahan From: Marian Dent �`! Date: Sept. 6, 1935 Subj: 5910 Oakes; Dr. Yearout, Veterinarian On Sept. 4th I investigated the complaint concerning Dr. Yearout conductin9 his Veterinary practice out of his residence located at 5910 Oakes. Nhen I drove up in front of his house a young woman was coming out of the house with a kitten in her arms. I knocked on the door and Dr. Yearout answered. I identified myself and he invited me in. There was a lady sitting on the couch in the iiving room and she had a turtle about the size of a saftball in her hands. Dr. Yearout asked if I wnuld wait until he was done with the situation concerning the turtle. I said yes and waited at the front door during his examination of the turtle. Nhile I was waiting, I observed the living room and part of the dinning room which were quite neat. This area did not appear to be an examination room for animals. Dr. Yearout was examining the turtle and talking to the lady about the sore on the turtles neck which ha1 a slight secreation. The Dr. was asking questions about the turtles riet and about vitamins she was giving the turtle. She couldn't remember the name brand so, Dr. Vearout left the room, went up stairs and returned with a small jar of vitamins. He did not sell the vitamins to her at that time. Dr. Yearout had a box similar to a fish tackle box and in it were various small jars which he used two or three to fill a small syringe. He than i�jected the contents of the syringe into the turtle. Upon leaving, the lady asked how much she owed him and he said five dollars, which she gave to him in cash. Dr. Yearout and I had a conversation about him conducting business at his residence. He was quite persistant about doing no wrong. I explained tha� he was granted permission to use his residence as a base of operatfons, conducting his services for clients at their residences, not his. He said there are about two vehicles a day with clients coming to his residence and 85% of his business was co�ducted away from his residence. He also said that the City of Everett Animal Control Shelter creates traffic at his residence when thry bring animals to his house. He said he never had a fox at his house which was a part of the complaint. I informed Dr. Yearout that I would submit my report to the staff inembers and he would 'oe contacted concerning a decision about his business. cc: Jim Langus Pearl Maddy
