(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-34321082 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicated that his dog was exposed to an insecticidal spray containing the active ingredient tetrachlorvinphos. The reporter indicated that he applied the spray to his 10 year old, 110 pound, male Great Dane eight days prior to initial contact with the registrant. Seven days after the product was applied the reporter indicated that the dog was reluctant to rise and did not get up to great him when he returned from work. The following day, the dog vocalized when it lifted its head and it would not get up at all; per the reporter the dog was fine in the front legs but the back legs just did not work and the reporter also thought that the dog was experiencing pain in the back legs. The reporter was advised that if the dog was suffering from systemic toxicity generalized symptoms would be expected; not focal symptoms as described. The reporter was further advised to bath his dog with a non-insecticidal shampoo and to seek veterinary care as soon as possible for diagnosis and appropriate treatment of the described symptoms. On follow- up call, three days later, the reporter indicated that his dog passed away on the day of initial contact before veterinary care could be provided. Per the reporter, just prior to the dogs death it was having a hard time breathing, it then took 2 deep breaths and passed away. A necropsy was offered to help determine the cause of death. The reporter initially expressed in an interest in having a necropsy performed but never requested necropsy submission paperwork. No further information is available.
