(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-19414448: A reporter (dog owner) called on 08/05/2009 to report the exposure of her dog to a grass seed treated with the active ingredient Mefenoxam. According the reporter, the dog ingested the entire contents of a 5-pound bag of product within the hour prior to the report. At the time of the report, the dog's abdomen was distended and he was trying to vomit but was unable to do so. The reporter was advised that the concern is not related to the active ingredient or any toxicity, but to the sheer volume of seed consumed. The reporter was encouraged to take the dog to a veterinarian immediately for evaluation. On follow up, the reporter stated that the dog was not brought to a veterinarian and died on 08/06/2009. A necropsy was performed by the veterinarian and revealed a "flipped" stomach which the veterinarian presumed was the cause of death. No further information was obtained.
Death
The flipped stomach was not caused by Metalaxyl-M but due to volume of grass seed consumed.
