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

1-24021342- The reporter, a pet owner, indicates her animals have been exposed to an insecticide containing the active ingredients d-trans Allethrin, N-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide, and methoprene. The pet owner indicates she bathed both of her dogs with the product, a flea and tick shampoo, three days prior to the initial contact with the registrant. She noted her six month female Labrador Retriever began vomiting with two hours of use of the product. The animal then refused food, became lethargic, and would not rise. The caller stated the animal died the night prior to the initial contact with the registrant. The second animal bathed remained asymptomatic. She did not seek veterinary assistance during the animal¿s illness. The animal was buried before a necropsy could be performed. The reporter was advised this is unexpected to be related to the use of the product according to the label. The product contains low concentrations of well tolerated active ingredients. The animal was likely suffering from some unrelated undiagnosed condition.
