According to the reporter, the product was applied to the dog on 09/09/2009. On 09/10/2009 the dog stopped eating and drinking, was not defecating, couldn't walk, and was non-responsive. The dog was taken to the veterinarian and blood work revealed kidney failure. The dog was started on antibiotics and IV fluids. The dog was discharged after 1 week in the hospital. After returning home, the dog had a seizure and died. A recommendation was made to consider necropsy to determine the cause of death. The company's reimbursement policy was discussed.
