(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-16166274: The reporter called on 5/19/08 to inquire about the safety profile of a product containing the active ingredient Cypermethrin. He had sprayed the product underneath the deck of his house about 1 week prior to the call. While there had been no witnessed exposure, according to the reporter his 4 year old dog had become lethargic and had developed a distended abdomen over the previous 2 days. The reporter wondered if the dog's symptoms could be related to product exposure, especially if the dog had inhaled the product during application. The product's potential to be a GI, dermal or respiratory irritant was discussed. The dog's symptoms were determined to be inconsistent with the exposure. A recommendation was made to have the dog evaluated ASAP by a veterinarian. Several follow-up calls were placed, and a return call on 5/28/08 revealed the dog had passed away on en route to a veterinarian. The veterinarian had offered to perform a necropsy, but the reporter had declined.
Death
The dogs symptoms were inconsistent with the exposure and it is unlikely that the dog died from exposure to this product. There is no evidence of direct exposure.
