(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
Signalment Age unknown intact female weighing unknown amount. Normal environment: roaming. Agent Exposure Roundup Weed And Grass Killer Ready To Use Plus Pump N Go Sprayer (observed agent id) Observed exposure occurred on Sep 26, 2010 at 12:00 PM CDT (not specific ). Exposure involved unknown amount dermally and orally. The exposure was yard use, and occurred at animal owner yard. The use was appropriate. [Note : The owner has used the product periodically all summer. Last use was on 9-26. Dogs are kept off yard during application and until dry. Dogs do roam neighborhood. Both dogs became ill on either 10-4 or 10-5, vomiting, anorexia, lethargy. Dog 2 died on 10-8. Dog 1 is worsening, and is starting to lose weight. Dogs have not been seen by a DVM, and owner is not going to seek DVM care. (by CM on Oct 10, 2010 at 07:36 AM)] Because the amount was unknown consistent, the patient was considered to be at unknown risk of developing clinical signs. If signs develop, there is low risk that those signs will be life-threatening. [Note : Glyphosate is an amino acid inhibitor that affects the shikimic pathway in plants. Mammals do not have this pathway. Glyphosate is considered practically non-toxic via dermal and oral routes. However, the formulation frequently includes surfactants that can be irritating. Most yard use products will cause no more than mild self-limiting GI upset. (by CM on Oct 10, 2010 at 07:36 AM)] Potential Cause Roundup Weed And Grass Killer Ready To Use Plus Pump N Go Sprayer Because the time course was poorly consistent, the amount was unknown consistent, and the findings were poorly consistent, this substance was considered to have not related likelihood of causing the clinical situation
