Havanese Dog named [name] (Canine Domestic) Signalment 10.0 wk neutered male weighing 2.0 lb. Was in good health previously. Normal environment: indoors mostly. Agent Exposure Roundup Weed and Grass Killer Ready To Use Plus (observed agent id) Suspected exposure occurred on Jun 08, 2011 at 12:00 PM CDT¿6 hr (possible ). Exposure involved unknown amount orally. The exposure was accidental, and occurred at animal owner yard. [Note : Owner states that her husband had sprayed with this product on Wednesday and [name] had been out in the treated area that day. On Thursday, [name] began having some diarrhea and began vomiting. The owner states that [name] has not vomited since yesterday but has not been eating since Friday evening. She suspects that [name] licked up some of the product or ate a treated plant. (by [initials] on Jun 12, 2011 at 08:38 AM)] Because the amount was somewhat consistent, the patient was considered to be at low risk of developing clinical signs. If signs develop, there is low risk that those signs will be life-threatening. [Note : This product contains glyphosate. We could see mild and self-limiting GI upset (nausea, vomiting) from the surfactants in the product, if it was ingested while it was still wet. We would not expect to see any clinical signs from the active ingredient.

List of Contacts Jun 12, 2011 at 08:38 AM CDT [name] (assistant) interacted with [name] (owner) for reason: obtain help. [Note : Advised per Dr. [name] that the Roundup can cause some GI upset if it is ingested when still wet. Signs are usually fairly mild though and would be expected to start within a couple hours of exposure. Based on what we are seeing from [name] it seems likely that this is not related to any exposure to the Roundup. Since he is so young and has not eaten since Friday evening we would want him to get to a DVM right away for evaluation and treatment. [name] could easily develop hypoglycemia and dehydration. The DVM can contact us for more information. Call back with any questions or concerns.
