The dog did not appear to be bleeding, but was observed to be favoring its right paw. The kennel was not damaged in the incident. The cargo compartment air conditioning systems operated normally during the flight. The flight itself was uneventful. Cause of the Incident: The consignee stated that the dog always favors his right paw and that the blood appeared to be from the dog chewing the side of the kennel. The consignee refused our offer to have the dog examined by a veterinarian at our expense and further stated that the dog “was fine”. Corrective Action Taken: None. The injury was self-inflicted.
