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

1-16965699: A reporter called on 11/25/2008 to report the possible exposure of a dog to a snail and slug bait containing the active ingredient Metaldehyde. According to the reporter, the product had been applied to the garden on 11/24/2008. The reporter found the dog dead this morning. Actual product exposure was not witnessed, and the reporter could not determine whether the product had been disturbed. The reporter wanted to know about the product's toxicity. The reporter was advised that the product is highly toxic, even in small amounts. The clinical signs following product ingestion include tremors and seizures, leading to hyperthermia. Because product exposure could not be confirmed, a recommendation was made to discuss the dog's death with a veterinarian. No further information was obtained.
