Salter, II, who practices at Animed Pet Hospital, agreed in September 2022 to pay $15,000 to resolve allegations that he violated the civil provisions of the Controlled Substances Act. According to the settlement agreement, he admitted he did not furnish required records for euthanasia solution, ketamine, diazepam and hydrocodone liquid in connection with a 2019 DEA audit. He also admitted storing controlled substances at his unregistered residence, keeping tramadol in an unlocked cabinet, ordering a Schedule IV drug without a DEA registration, and not reporting his board probation.
