(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-16285525: The reporter called on 6/16/08 to report the sudden passing of her 7 month old dog after possible exposure to a flea and tick product containing the active ingredients Methoprene and Tetrachlorvinphos. According to the reporter, her dog had been playing with her son¿¿¿s puppy on 6/14/08 for 15 minutes. The son¿¿¿s puppy had been wearing a flea and tick collar and the reporter wondered if her dog may have ingested any product. About 15 minutes after playing with the puppy, her dog had vomited one time and had also begun to salivate. The dog had then run away and hid in the woods for several hours. The reporter stated that upon his return, her dog had a ¿¿¿bad body odor¿¿¿, seemed edematous, was covered in flies and had what looked to be cornmeal in his hair. The dog was bathed twice and per the reporter seemed to be better. He passed away suddenly the evening of 6/15/08 without veterinary care. The reporter was unclear as to whether or not his symptoms persisted or worsened prior to his sudden death. The safety profile of the product was discussed during the 6/16 call, including the fact that sudden death would not be an expected reaction to exposure to the product.
