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

DVM calling because the pet was exposed to Wilson Ant Out Dust approx. 24 hours ago. Pet ingested an unknown amount of the product. Pet is symptomatic at this clinic. Pet has bloody diarrhea and is vomiting bile. Pet is at the DVM at this time. Per the DVM, this dog ingested this off the ground. Unknown what else might have been on the ground that the dog may have ingested. Because the amount was somewhat consistent, the patient was considered to be at medium risk of developing clinical signs. If signs develop, there is low risk that those signs will be life-threatening. Ingestion of this agent may cause GI upset secondary to dietary indiscretion. More significant signs are not expected. The severity of this dog's signs suggest another etiology. Discussed case with DVM and explained that while this agent can cause mild, typically self limiting signs, the severity and time of onset of this dog's signs suggest a different etiology. Also, with the amount ingested being only what the dog could have picked up off the ground, it is unlikely that the dog got enough to cause more than mild signs. I suspect this dog ingested something else off the ground at the time of this exposure or that this is not a toxin-related event. Consider alternate causes for this dog's signs. Symptomatic and supportive care. Call back with questions or concerns.
