(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
The pet owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) on August 29, 2009 after witnessing her dog ingest the substance from her neighbor's yard. The APSS veterinarian recommended that the pet owner take the dog to the veterinarian immediately and have the veterinarian call for information. The emergency veterinarian contacted the APSS that same day. The APSS veterinarian recommended that the emergency veterinarian not induce vomiting due to the rapid onset of signs, give activated charcoal if the dog is stable, monitor for central nervous system (CNS) signs, monitor for SLUDDE, provide fluid therapy, give atropine, give methocarbamol for tremors, and give diazepam for seizures, provide symptomatic care, and call back with questions.
Moderate
On September 4, 2009 an APSS technician received an update from the emergency clinic via fax. The emergency vet monitored for SLUDDE and CNS signs, provided fluid therapy, gave methocarbamol for tremors, provided symptomatic care, performed a chemistry panel and complete blood count (CBC), and monitored the dog's electrolytes. The dog made a full recovery on the evening of August 29, 2009. The product was not used according to label directions: Not to be used where pets are likely to be present.
