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

1-23258257- The reporter, a pet owner, called to indicate her animal had been exposed to an insecticide containing the active ingredient D-phenothrin. The caller stated she applied the product to her 10 month 6 pound male Yorkshire terrier the day prior to the initial contact with the registrant. She stated the animal had developed seizures in the night and was brought to an emergency veterinarian. The veterinarian reported the animal was hypoglycemic and had given dextrose to the animal. The owner reported the animal had died the morning after she had brought it to the veterinarian. The veterinarian had told her the animal had "liver failure" but it is unclear how they had arrived at that determination. The caller was told that the signs and out come seen were inconsistent with the labeled use of the product. The caller was informed of a registrant supported necropsy program. It is unclear if she availed herself of the program. No further information is available.
