1-20863000: A reporter (dog owner) called on 11/30/2009 to report the exposure of her dog to a flea and tick product containing the active ingredient Phenothrin. According to the reporter, the product was applied to the dog on 11/29/2009. The dog may have licked the product after application. Within 30 minutes, the dog started vomiting which persisted to the time of the report. He was also unable to eat or drink. The reporter was advised that the product is not expected to result in the signs described following routine use. Minor gastrointestinal signs may occur if the product is ingested. A recommendation was made to bathe the dog in a non-insecticidal shampoo or hand dish soap. The reporter was advised to have the dog evaluated by a veterinarian if the signs persist. On follow up on 12/01/2009, the reporter stated that the dog now has blood coming from its rectum, is very lethargic, and is still vomiting and anorexic. The reporter was again advised that the signs are not expected with product use. The reporter was advised that the dog needs to be seen immediately by a veterinarian for evaluation and treatment. On follow up, the reporter stated that the dog died in the car on 12/01/2009 en route to the veterinarian. No further information was obtained.
