5/12/2008 Caller is a pest control officer, and reports that the products were applied in a building at a client's home and to the lawn on 5/8/08. The client's two dogs were not allowed in the areas of application for thirty hours, and had no known direct exposure to product. One dog developed lethargy, disorientation, and vomiting within twelve hours of re-entering the area. The second dog developed the same symptoms the following day. Both dogs were taken to the veterinarian for evaluation. The caller is unsure of what treatments were performed but knows the dogs were given IV fluids and an unspecified medication. No diagnosis was offered by the veterinarian. 5/20/2008 Caller is dog owner calling to update information. Caller reports that the first dog became anxious, vomited, panting, and arching its back twelve hours after re-entry. The second dog developed the same symptoms two hours later, but did not develop vomiting. The veterinarian gave the dogs something to coat their stomach and a prescription oral medication for three days.
