1-18527777: A reporter (dog owner) called on 05/19/2009 to report the exposure of his dog to a slug and snail bait containing the active ingredient Metaldehyde. According to the reporter, the dog ate some of the product at an unknown time and was shaking at the time of the report. The reporter was advised that the product is highly toxic in small amounts and acts quickly so the dog must be seen by a veterinarian immediately. The reporter was also advised that ingestion of the product may result in muscle tremors, hyperthermia, and decreased respiratory effort. The dog should be decontaminated by the veterinarian. On follow up, the reporter stated that he was unable to get the dog to a veterinarian. It started having seizures and died at home on 05/19/2009. No further information was obtained.
