(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms

1-27236979- The reporter, a pet owner, indicated her animal was exposed to an insecticide containing the active ingredient Potassium Salt of Fatty Acids. The pet owner indicated her forty five pound female dog had ingested some of the product. It was not clarified whether the animal had access to the application site or the stock of the product. The caller did not convey what volume of the product had been ingested. The pet owner did not state when the ingestion had taken place. The animal was reported to have refused food and started vomiting preceding the initial report. This product/active ingredient is well tolerated when encountered by pets. Direct ingestion may yield transitory gastrointestinal irritation that is often self-limiting but may require supportive care. No follow up was obtained from this caller. No further information is available.
