1-22461712:The reporter, an animal owner, called on 5/1/10 to report the possible ingestion of a molluscicide containing the active ingredient Metaldehyde by his 3 dogs. No ingestion of the product was witnessed but the dogs were in the same area as the product during product application and ingestion was presumed. According to the reporter, the dogs may have ingested product 30-45 minutes prior to the call. One dog (1st subform III) had already developed symptoms (panting, unable to walk, and shaking) while the other two were still asymptomatic. The symptomatic dog was 6 weeks pregnant. During the call the toxic nature of the product was discussed including potential symptoms and their timeframe subsequent to exposure. The reporter was advised to immediately take all three dogs to a veterinarian. A follow-up call on 5/4/10 revealed that two of the dogs (1st and 3rd subform III) died later on the day of the call (5/1) after they developed seizures. The reporter could not afford veterinary care. The reporter induced emesis in one dog (2nd subform III), who then later developed seizures but recovered. The reporter was extremely upset, as the store he purchased the product from (name) had indicated the product was safe to use around dogs. During the follow-up call, it was discussed that liver damage may occur several days after exposure if a dog survived the acute phase. A recommendation was made to have a veterinarian evaluate the surviving dog.
