(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-16153413: The reporter called on 5/16/08 to report he had applied a flea and tick collar containing the active ingredient Tetrachlorvinphos to his 6 month old dog about 1 week prior to the call. The dog had vomited the day prior to the call (5/15), so the reporter had removed the collar. According to the reporter, at the time of the call the dog had developed loose stool and had become anorexic. The safety profile of the product was discussed. A recommendation was made to bathe the dog in a non-medicated pet shampoo, and to seek veterinary care if the symptoms persisted or worsened. The reporter called back about 11 hours later. The reporter had been giving the dog Pedialyte for hydration. The dog had begun to get up and drink, so the reporter had planned to take him to a veterinarian the next day if the dog did not improve. However, the dog had passed away about 1 hour prior to the call. The reporter also revealed additional symptoms of diarrhea and muscle weakness that the dog had developed subsequent to earlier symptoms of vomiting and increased salivation (seen 5/14 or 15). Company sponsored necropsy and cholinesterase testing was discussed but the dog had already been buried.
