Generally signs are mild and self-limiting.

[Note : Call center staff transferring pet owner. (by (name)on May 10, 2011 at 07:03 PM)] [Note : Speaking with pet owner. Since Thanksgiving, she has lost 3 pets with very similar symptoms. Her neighbor will use a roundup concentrate product and spray it near her yard. The last time it was sprayed was about 3 weeks ago. Each dog was found with white MM color, clenched jaw, and extreme lethargy, and then they pass away within minutes. Caller cannot think of anything else the dogs have access to in her yard or the neighbor's yard that would be causing this. Explained that roundup can cause mild GI upset when it's wet. This would not be a product that would cause death. (by name on May 10, 2011 at 07:03 PM)] May 10, 2011 at 07:09 PM CDT (name) (veterinarian) interacted with (name)(owner) for reason: update case-in. [Note : Called the owner back (disconnected). The owner stated that she didn't think that the signs were related but wanted to call and see. Briefly discussed other possible exposures with the owner (Metaldehyde, zinc phosphide, snake bites, toads). Recommend the owner walk around the yard to evaluate for other potential exposures. Call back if any information becomes available. The owner states that she has buried Doodles, but recommended the owner consider a necropsy if this should happen again (this is the owner's third loss). (by (name) on May 10, 2011 at 07:33 PM)]
