(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-23216171- The reporter, a pet owner, indicates his animal may have been exposed to a rodenticide containing the active ingredient Brodifacoum. The caller reported his seven month male 25 pound dachshund had access to the product for over one month. The caller did not specify that the product had been applied. He did not indicate that he had observed the animal ingest any of the product. The caller reported on the morning of the initial contact with the registrant that his animal was lethargic and breathing rapidly in "quick short breaths". The caller was advised to seek prompt veterinary care. He was advised of the mechanism of action of the active ingredient and of signs that might be seen in cases of exposure. On routine call back the pet owner indicated the animal had died. They had sought prompt veterinary care at which time the veterinarian had given an injection of Vitamin K1, the antidote given in cases of ingestion exposures. The veterinarian had advised the owner to bring the dog to an emergency and critical care veterinarian for additional treatments. The veterinarian had expressed the opinion that the animal¿¿¿s signs were consistent with exposure, but had not done any diagnostics to validate this opinion. The pet owner brought the animal home and did not seek any further veterinary care. The animal died within 30 minutes of bringing it home. The pet owner commented that there was no evidence of hemorrhage when asked. No necropsy was performed. No further information is available.
