8/21/2014 Caller reports that the product was sprayed in her yard on 8/5/2014. Caller's dogs had been let out into the treated areas several times without issue. Caller states that one dog developed vomiting and diarrhea on 8/14/2014. Caller states that another dog developed vomiting and diarrhea after the first dog, but also developed seizures yesterday and died while being treated by their veterinarian. The first dog is still being treated with intravenous fluids, anti-emetics and antibiotics. Caller stated that the veterinarian thinks that the symptoms were caused by some type of toxin. The veterinarian recommended that caller check around her home and property for any products which may be of concern. The veterinarian suspected some type of rat poison, and also did not think the time frame seemed right for an insecticide to cause the symptoms. 8/29/2014 Attempted call back to the original caller.
