1-16172464: The reporter called on 5/21/08 to report she had applied a product containing the active ingredient Metaldehyde 2 days previously. The reporter had thought one of her dogs (2nd subform III) had ingested some product on 5/20, as it had developed tremors that morning. That dog had been taken to a veterinarian for treatment, and had been discharged later that same day after its symptoms resolved. The reporter had subsequently tried to remove all the bait from the treated area. During the 5/21 call, the reporter revealed that another of her dogs (1st subform III) had just developed tremors and drooling. The safety profile of the product was discussed and a recommendation was made to take the dog to a veterinarian immediately. The reporter called a few hours later to reveal the dog most recently exposed (1st subform III) had passed away en route to the veterinarian.
