(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-16616357: A reporter (veterinarian) called on 09/09/2008 to report the exposure of a dog to an insecticide containing the active ingredient Borax. According to the reporter, the dog owner had not witnessed actual exposure to the product but thought the dog may have licked the product 2 days prior to the report (09/07/2008). It is unclear based on the report whether the product had been applied. The reporter stated that the dog presented to the veterinary clinic with signs of lethargy and pale mucous membranes (unknown duration). The reporter was advised that the active ingredient has a low level of toxicity and a wide range of safety. The reporter was also advised that licking the area the product had been applied to after it had dried would not be expected to result in adverse effects. Ingestion of small amounts of the wet product could result in gastrointestinal upset. A recommendation was made to rule out other possible causes for the dog's signs given the unclear exposure to the product and inconsistency of the dog's signs. Attempts at follow up were unsuccessful and no further information was obtained.
Moderate
Actual exposure to the product was not witnessed.
