(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
11/12/2007 1:26:04 PMCaller concerned that rabbit might have licked the product this morning. She relates her maid found the animal lethargic and not moving. Caller is wondering if this is product related. She is not sure the rabbit even got into the product. No one saw the rabbit near the bait station, however, the rabbit is allowed to roam around the room where the bait is sitting out. Owner was instructed to bring the rabbit to a DVM ASAP.11/27/2007 4:18:35 PMFollow-up with owner. She did take the rabbit to the vet. They now suspected that the rabbit may have chewed on an electrical chord in the home. There was rear paralysis per DVM. The rabbit died that night. No necropsy.
Death
The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone Interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and can not form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified in the telephone interviews.There is no evidence to suggest that this rabbit ever had contact with the bait station. Even had the rabbit licked the outside of the hard plastic housing surrounding the still intact bait inside, there would be negligible to no exposure to abamectin. Even had the rabbit ingested the entire contents of this bait station, the potential dose of abamectin this rabbit could have received from a single bait station is well below any dose of this compound that could potentially lead to significant illness. Finally, an independent veterinary evaluation has determined another unrelated cause for this rabbit's illness.
