1-26157411- The reporter, a pet owner, indicates his animal was exposed to an insecticidal product containing the active ingredients tetrachlorvinphos and methoprene. The pet owner indicates he applied the product to his fourteen year seven pound female Chihuahua two days prior to his initial contact with the registrant. The reporter indicates he applied the flea and tick spray to his animal at seven pm and the animal immediately rolled on the carpeting according to the owner in effort to remove it from the coat. By ten pm that evening the animal exhibited the signs of vomiting, diarrhea and bloody stool. The pet owner indicates by the next morning the animal was unable to stand. The animal had died two pm that day. The pet owner did not indicate the animal had been brought to the veterinarian or any treatment had been offered. The pet owner was advised that the product carried labeling discouraging use on elderly animals. Despite the product misuse the signs seen and outcome seen would not be expected. The pet owner was advised it was likely that something else was affecting the animal¿s health and necropsy may be helpful in discovering the cause of death. The pet owner indicated the animal had been buried at the time of his initial contact. No further information is available.
