(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-23167609- The caller, a veterinarian, reports a patient of hers has been exposed to a pesticide containing the active ingredient Tetrachlorvinphos. The caller reports the animal, an eight year female 55 pound Golden retriever dog, had the product (a collar) applied one day prior to the initial contact with the registrant. The animal was reported by the owner to have developed the signs of lethargy, vomiting, fever, and dehydration within five hours of application of the collar. The caller was most interested in what testing and treatment was supported by the registrant in the event of suspected exposure. The caller was informed of registrant supported cholinesterase testing. The veterinarian had indicated her treatment plan for the animal included bathing, intravenous fluid therapy, antibiotics, antiemetics, and blood work. On routine callback the next day the veterinarian reported the animal was doing better. The vomiting was under control. On routine call back three days later the veterinarian had advised the animal had died. She reported the cholinesterase test came back "normal". The veterinarian had performed an in clinic gross necropsy and had observed "liver changes" (unspecified) that she perceived as the overall cause of death. The veterinarian was advised of a registrant supported necropsy program. No further information is available.
