(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-23237083- The reporter, a pet owner, indicates his animals may have been exposed to an insecticide containing the active ingredient Cypermethrin. The caller reports his son applied the product to his dog kennel a "few days" prior to the initial contact with the registrant, unknown dilution factor/application rate. The caller indicates seven 9 week Weimaraner dogs have had exposure to the application area. The caller does not specify if the animals were in the kennel at the time of the application or the re-entry interval observed. The caller speculates his son may have sprayed food/water dishes. No discreet exposure is described. The caller specifies the animals had demonstrated general malaise the day of the contact with the registrant. The caller indicates he had discussed the animal's signs with a veterinarian and had been told they may be due to a parvovirus infection. The caller was advised the signs seen would not be expected following use of the product as labeled. The animals were likely suffering from some unrelated illness. The caller was told direct exposure to wetted dilute product may result in mild self-limiting irritation to the body surfaces exposed. The caller was advised to seek veterinary assistance. On routine call back the pet owner indicated three of the animals had died ( Sub-form III, #1). They had developed rapid breathing, seizuring, rectal bleeding, and anorexia. The animals had died one day following the initial contact with the registrant. The pet owner had not brought any of the animals to the veterinarian. The remaining animals (Sub-form III, #2) were described as improved. The caller was advised the signs seen and outcome was inconsistent with exposure to the product. It was reiterated the animals should be brought to the veterinarian. The caller did not return further call back attempts. No further information is available.
Death
It is highly unlikely that cypermethrin was involved in this case based on the symptoms described. the treating veterinarian indicated a parvo virus may be the cause.
