(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-26561558- The reporter indicates his employer¿s dog may have been exposed to an herbicide containing the active ingredient paraquat. The reporter indicates a pest control operator had applied the product to weeds adjacent to his workplace two days prior to his initial contact with the registrant. The reporter indicated his employers eighteen pound male mixed breed dog had access to the application site and the truck in which the product was carried. No exposure was observed but the caller indicates they have noted a change in the dog¿s outward affect the day of his call. The caller reports the dog is normally active and energetic but at the point of his initial call the animal was reported to be weak and lying around. The caller was concerned the dog may have ingested some of the product that had leaked out of a container in the truck. The caller was advised to seek immediate veterinary care. He was advised of treatment protocols and prognosis following ingestion exposures of the active ingredient in domestic animals. The caller had not initially responded to follow up attempts until yet another employee of the animal owner called back ten days later and indicated the animal was brought to the veterinarian 3-4 days after the potential exposure. The caller reported the animal had died in the veterinarian¿s care. The veterinarian had given the animal 'pain pills' and oxygen. The animal had apparently gotten worse and died. The caller was unable to provide further information regarding either the exposure or the care/diagnostics provided the animal. No further information is available.
Death
Symptoms are not consistent with exposure to paraquat. No discrete exposure incident was observed or recorded.
