(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-18429362: A reporter (dog owner) called on 05/12/2009 to report the possible exposure of his dog to an herbicide containing the active ingredient Corn Gluten Meal. According to the reporter, the dog was not feeling well on 05/06/2009. The reporter applied the product to the yard on 05/07/2009. By 05/10/2009, the dog was very ill and was brought to the emergency clinic. The dog was found to be very constipated. She was also anorexic, lethargic, and vomiting. Radiographs and a barium series were performed and no obstruction was noted. The dog developed diarrhea and also had a slightly prolapsed rectum. At the time of the report, the dog was being treated with IV fluids and other tests were being performed. The reporter thought the dog may have ingested a few pellets of product and made the initial signs worse. The reporter was advised that the product has a low level of toxicity and a wide margin of safety. Ingestions of small amounts of product may result in minor GI upset including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The reporter was advised that it is unlikely that if the product was ingested it contributed to the dog's signs. The reporter was encouraged to continue working with the veterinarian to determine the cause of the dog's signs. No further information was obtained.
