(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-17605479: A reporter called on 02/17/2009 to report the exposure of a goat to an herbicide containing the active ingredients Dicamba; 2,4-D, dimethylamine salt and Mecoprop-p Dimethylamine Salt. According to the reporter, the goat had wandered onto the reporter's property 6 months earlier and the reporter had been caring for her since that time. The reporter applied the product to his property at an unknown time. The goat was seen eating the treated grass on 02/13/2009. The grass was dry at the time the goat ingested it. On 02/15/2009, the goat started having difficulty walking which persisted to the time of the call. The reporter also mentioned that there is less grass to graze on and he is unsure whether he has been supplementing the goat's diet appropriately. The reporter was advised that the product has a wide margin of safety and low level of toxicity. The reporter was also advised that ingestion of the product may result in gastrointestinal upset. Neurologic signs are not expected with product exposure. A recommendation was made to have the goat evaluated by a veterinarian. On follow up on 02/19/2009, the reporter stated that a veterinarian came out and evaluated the goat. A stomach tube was inserted to relieve the gas building up in the goat's stomach. The goat's body temperature had also started to drop. No further diagnostics or treatments were done given the goat's age and unknown medical history. The goat died on 02/18/2009. No further information was obtained.
