17. Provide any additional details about the incident

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

The owner does not remember if there were 2 or 3 bars on the table and now he has only 2 left. He suspects that the dogs may have ingested 1 bar around 0745 CST. The animal owner was informed that because the time course was poorly consistent, the amount was somewhat consistent, and the findings were poorly consistent, this substance was considered to have doubtful likelihood of causing the clinical situation. The animal was taken into the local vet because the owner did not have any H2O2 to help try and induce vomiting and that it would take him at least 1.5 hours to get some. Vomiting was induced at the vet and the animal has now started exhibiting symptoms around 9am. It was explained to the vet that CNS signs would not be expected. During a routine follow up call two days later, it was learnt that the animal has gotten better later that day but has been on K1 since yesterday.
