1-19630975: A reporter (veterinarian) called on 08/25/2009 to report the exposure of her 2 dogs to a flea and tick product containing the active ingredient Phenothrin. According to the reporter, the dogs were bathed with an unknown flea and tick shampoo on 08/20/2009. The topical product was applied to the dogs on 08/21/2009. On 08/23/2009, Dog #1 (1st Subform III) developed seizures. Dog #1 continued to have multiple seizures and presented to the veterinary clinic on 08/25/2009 with ataxia and bradycardia. The dog had been bathed by the owners prior to presentation. The reporter was advised that it is recommended to consult a veterinarian prior to using flea and tick products on older dogs. The reporter was also advised that layering of products can result in toxicity. A recommendation was made to bathe the dog in hand dish soap to remove any product residue. Symptomatic and supportive care including methocarbamol for tremors and phenobarbital for seizures should be instituted. Monitoring for resolution of symptoms at the veterinary clinic was recommended. On follow up on 08/26/2009, a veterinary clinic employee stated that the dog had been sent home and the owners called earlier to report that the dog had had several more seizures. On follow up on 08/28/2009, a veterinary clinic employee stated that the dog's owners reported that she died. The employee also stated that a second dog (2nd Subform III) was "affected" as well, but the employee did not report Dog #2's signs. Dog #2 was treated with atropine and bathed several times. The owners declined any further treatment. The owners reported that Dog #2 had recovered. No further information was obtained.
