The owner does not know when or how much the dog ingested of this agent but she saw today traces of blue/green bait in the stool. Also, Montana yelped twice in the morning. The owner was advised that because the amount was unknown consistent, the patient was considered to be at high risk of developing clinical signs. If signs develop, there is high risk that those signs will be life-threatening. Advised owner to take the animal into their DVM. On October 7 during a follow up call the owner stated that the dog is doing ok at home. She had really bad diarrhea that first night, since then has gotten better. She is eating grass now. Her stools were orange up until yesterday. Spoke with (name) to make sure everything sounded good for this pet. She said the vitamin k1 length was a good time-frame. She recommended contacting her Reg DVM and asking them if she needed some GI protectants, such as pepcid. She said to make sure they are giving the vitamin k1 with a high-fat meal to assure that it's not making her nauseous and is absorbing correctly. She said she had a list of things to watch for from her veterinarian and will call if she sees any of them. Owner was advised that she could have her RegDVM call to consult about the pepcid since the owner is concerned about putting her on too much medication. Final outcome unknown
