(p.ex. description des symptômes tels que la fréquence et la gravité
On June 6, 2014 the dog developed hypersalivation, a few minutes later became lethargic, then stopped breathing, and shortly after the dog died. The dog was on the way to the veterinary clinic immediately after the signs started, but arrived to the clinic deceased. Later that day, the owner's son contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The APSS veterinarian stated when the collar is in the mouth, can see gastrointestinal (GI) upset, hypersalivation, potentially diarrhea. The APSS veterinarian also stated if there were any pieces of the collar missing, could see foreign body (f.b.) or potentially (central nervous system) CNS signs as well (such as tremors, ataxia, etc). The APSS veterinarian also stated would not expect death from mouthing/chewing on it. The APSS veterinarian finally stated if the collar in some way choked/strangled the dog, that could fit in the time frame, but the ingredients in it are not expected to result in death. The APSS veterinarian recommended a necropsy and having the veterinarian call for information.
Mort
The APSS veterinarian stated that the substance was considered to have a doubtful likelihood of causing the clinical situation. A follow up was not performed, because additional information was not expected. On June 9, 2014 an APSS technician spoke with the veterinary clinic regarding necropsy instructions and submission. On June 13, 2014 the necropsy interim results revealed a morphologic diagnoses of calvarium: congenital open fontanelle with mild associated soft tissue hemorrhage and lungs: mild pulmonary edema. The cause of death is not obvious from gross examination. The open fontanelle and associated hemorrhage may have led to a cerebral injury. The pulmonary edema is of questionable significance and may be a freeze-thaw artifact. Histopathology is pending.
