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

Owner believes that Jingles ingested the bait on the 14th or 15th. A few days later her appetite and water consumption lessened and she became lethargic. She took her to the vet on the 10/18/09 and they ran unknown blood work and put her on IV fluids. Dog was sent home Monday morning (10/19/09) and was back to acting normal, but then started to decline as the day went on. Owner is at home with the dog and calling to find out if this agent is related. The owner stated that the vet did not think that the dogs signs were due to rodenticide ingestion and instructed the owner to continue home care with antibiotics and monitoring. Dog was treated for an anemia condition 2 years ago with steroids, but is normal now. The owner was advised about the anticoagulant rodenticides. She was informed on the amount that she suspected that Jingles had ingested would be enough to be life threatening and she needs to seek treatment right away. I gave her a case number and the follow up number and recommended that she have the vet call back for management details. Outcome unknwon
