1-15808996: The reporter, a veterinarian, called on 2/21/08 to report that a 15 month old dog may have been exposed to a product containing the active ingredient Chlorothalonil. The exposure was presumed to have occurred 24-48 hours previously when the product was used to spray some trees in the general area of the owner's dwelling. The dog began vomiting and having diarrhea the morning of 2/21/08. The reporter had already done blood tests, which showed mild dehydration. The reporter requested information regarding product safety especially potential long-term effects. Recommendations included symptomatic and supportive care along with the toxic profile of the product - acute, minor, self-limiting GI upset. A follow-up call was placed on 2/27/08 which revealed that the dehydration was treated in clinic and the dog was sent home with GI protectant medications and an easy digestible diet. At the time of the follow-up call the reporter had spoken with the dog's owners and the dog was doing fine.
