(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-25800119- The reporter, a pet owner, calls to indicate exposure of her animals to a pesticide containing the active ingredient phenothrin. The pet owner stated she applied the product to her five dogs one week prior to the initial contact with the registrant. The pet owner reported within 24 hours all animals developed vomiting and diarrhea. She reports all animals were brought to the veterinarian where the veterinarian had done a Parvoviral test that proved to be negative. The veterinarian had expressed the opinion that the animals were suffering from a viral infection to the owner and had recommended the animal be kept well hydrated at home. The pet owner indicated all dogs(Subform III, #2) except one resolved spontaneously within 48 hours. She indicated her fourteen week thirteen pound male boxer dog (Subform III, #1) developed anorexia upon returning home from the veterinarian and was found dead the morning of her initial contact with the registrant. The caller indicates the product was applied topically as labeled, but hypothesizes that the product may have been licked of the back of housemates. She did not observe ingestion. The pet owner was advised the symptoms seen were not consistent with the toxicity profile of the active ingredient. No further information is available.
