(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
7/20/2010 Caller reports that his dog chewed on a bait station 2 days ago. The bait station was still intact and only had teeth marks on it. No plastic was missing. The dog has vomited approximately 20 times in the last 2 days. Caller brought the dog to a veterinarian, but declined therapy due to the cost. Caller did not notice any plastic missing from the bait at the time of exposure. 7/24/2010 Callback to the original caller for follow up. The caller reports that the dog was also given a de-wormer the same day as the exposure to the product as the owner found a live worm in the dog's emesis. The dog continued to vomit through the night. Caller tried to give the dog Gatorade and Pedailyte through a syringe since the dog would no longer eat or drink on its own. The dog also developed hematemesis and bloody diarrhea. The dog died the following day.
Death
The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone Interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and can not form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified in the telephone interviews. Exposure history appears to indicate that even though the bait station had been chewed on, it was still intact such that majority of the bait pesticide still remained within the bait station housing. It would appear from the history given that this dog suffered from an intestinal parasitic infestation as evidenced by the worm found in its emesis and the fact that the dog was also recently treated with a dewormer. Finally, this animal was never properly evaluated and treated by a DVM nor was a necropsy performed.
