Suspected Adverse Reaction reported by attending veterinarian on 14 Jun 2017. The producer administered Saber Pour On to his cattle, on 13 Jun 2017, and accidently dropped the jug on the floor. That night, one of his dog was acting strange (unknown which dog). Both his dogs were ataxic on the next day. No tremors were observed. The producer thinks that perhaps the dogs have licked the product or may have layed on the spilled product. The dogs were brought for a vet exam that day. Other than ataxia, the exam was normal. Heart rate and body temperature were normal. The dog reported in this case (21 week old Border collie) had loose stool and vomiting. Blood panel was normal on both dogs. Vet doesn't think these dogs could have been exposed to something else but performed an Ethylene Glycol test to rule out this possibility- results are pending. At time of reporting, the dogs had not been treated yet. The other dog is reported in case 2017-CA-01516. Follow-up, 16 Jun 2017: The company sales representative spoke with the attending vet. He said that the dog has recovered. He did mention that a third dog from this ranch came in on 15 Jun 2017 and it was treated and doing better now. More information is expected. Follow-up, 21 Jun 2017: Multiple unsuccessful attempts were made to collect additional information on this third dog since clinical signs and dog's specifics are unknown. Also, details on diagnostic results / treatments could not be obtained. No more information is expected. The vet mentioned that another dog from this ranch came in on 15 Jun 2017 and it was treated and doing better now
