(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
12/15/2010 5:01:41 PM A pet owner claims to have placed 5-6 blocks of bait in his garage but cannot recall the date of application. On 12/15/10 his dog began acting lethargic and was evaluated by a veterinarian who found the dog to be febrile (104.0 degrees Fahrenheit). Upon medical examination the dog¿s mucus membranes (gums) appeared pink and there was no sign of bleeding. The veterinarian provided a tentative diagnosis of Lymes disease and began treatment with an antibiotic. Later in the evening of 12/15/10, while at home, the dog developed difficulty breathing and died. A necropsy was not performed. The dog did not have access to the application area (garage) and no ingestion of bait was witnessed. However, the pet owner later recalled that the dog ingested a portion of a towel a few days prior to death. This information was not provided to the treating veterinarian.
