1-26654788- The reporter, a pet owner, indicated his animal was exposed to an insecticide containing the active ingredient tetrachlorvinphos. The pet owner indicated he applied the product to his three year female six pound Pomeranian dog four days prior to his initial contact with the registrant. He indicated the day following application the animal was unable to walk, refused food, was vomiting and lethargic. The next day the animal demonstrated urinary incontinence, weakness and a slow heart rate. The animal was then brought to a veterinarian. The veterinarian¿s findings included hypothermia, anemia, pulmonary edema, and bradycardia. The animal was given intravenous fluids and an oral nutritional paste and discharged. The pet owner indicated the animal had no blood work drawn because the veterinarian had indicated the animal was too anemic to withstand the blood loss. The pet owner indicates the animal had a seizure at home two days following the application and died. The animal had been buried at the time of his initial contact. The pet owner was advised the signs seen, the veterinarian¿s findings and the out come would be unexpected following use of the product according to the label instructions.
