17. Provide any additional details about the incident

(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms

Vet staff calling to obtain help. There is no known exposure. The pet started vomiting sometime yesterday evening. The pet had diarrhea at an unknown time this morning. The pet presented to the DVM today around 800CST. The physical exam was normal. Vet staff believes this product is around the house, it is unknown when it was put out. Pepper the dog was eating grass this morning, so that is all that was seen in her vomitus. She vomited about 8x's this morning. I would not expect these signs from the exposure, especially if there are no large piles of the dust in the home. Some animals may have mild GI upset and vomiting, but low risks for diarrhea. Treat supportively, and do diagnostics if her signs persist.
