(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms

1-16163269: The reporter called on 5/19/2008, to report possible exposure of her dog to a herbicide product containing the active ingredients of 2,4-D, Dicamba and Mecoprop-P. According to the reporter, the product was applied on 5/18/2008 and the pet walked on it. The next morning, the dog was wheezing, lethargic, restless, anorexic, felt hot and had melena (black diarrhea). The reporter thought the dog may have licked the product off its body. The safety profile of the product was discussed in that the symptoms would not be expected with the described exposure. GI irritation may occur with ingestion but it would be expected to be self-limiting. It was also relayed that the symptoms could be due to a non-related medical condition. A recommendation was made to seek veterinary care should symptoms persist or worsen. Follow-up attempts were unsuccessful, no further information was provided.
