1-19445474: A reporter (veterinarian) called on 08/07/2009 to report the exposure of a dog to a flea and tick product containing the active ingredient Phenothrin. According to the reporter, the product was applied to the dog on 08/05/2009. By 08/06/2009, the dog was laterally recumbent, lethargic, and anorexic. The owners gave the dog a brief bath, but the reporter could still smell the product on the dog when it presented to him on 08/07/2009. At the time of the report, the dog had been bathed in Dawn hand dish soap and a complete blood count had been run and was determined to be within normal limits. The reporter was advised that adverse events are not expected with labeled use of the product. The reporter was also advised that bathing and symptomatic and supportive care are appropriate measures for suspected sensitivity to the product. On follow up, the reporter stated that the dog died on 08/07/2009. He had become hyperthermic, and the reporter was able to regulate his temperature. The dog's owners were instructed to bring the dog to the emergency clinic for overnight care, but they brought the dog home where he died that night. A recommendation was made to consider necropsy to try and determine the cause of death. No further information was obtained.
