(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms

1-22911471- The reporter, a pet owner, called to indicate exposure of his animal to a pesticide containing the active ingredient metaldehyde. The reporter indicated his animal, an 8 month 20 pound female mixed breed dog, had ingested an unknown amount of the product within one hour of the initial contact with the registrant. It remained unspecified whether exposure had occurred secondary to accidentally access to the container or access to application areas. The animal was reported to have been shaking, panting and foaming at the mouth at the initial contact. The pet owner was advised to seek immediate veterinary care for the animal and of standard treatment protocols including decontamination following domestic animal ingestion of this active ingredient. On routine call back the registrant was informed the animal had died. The pet owner had contacted a veterinarian by phone and was turned away by the veterinarian. The pet owner stated the veterinarian had indicated nothing could be done for the animal. This opinion would not conform to current veterinary emergency and critical care standards of care.
