1-19230261: A reporter (goat owner) called on 07/20/2009 to report the exposure of his goat to an insecticide containing the active ingredient Potassium Salts of Fatty Acids. According to the reporter, a rose bush had been sprayed with the product on 07/18/2009. On the day of the report, the rose bush was trimmed and the clippings were ingested by an unknown number of goats. Within 30 minutes, Goat #1 (1st Subform III) began vocalizing. She died 5 minutes later. None of the other goats developed any signs. The reporter was advised that ingestion of the product may result in minor gastrointestinal irritation but sudden death would not be anticipated. The reporter was advised that something else was likely the cause of death. A recommendation was made to consider necropsy to determine the cause of death. No further information was obtained.
