Accidental ingestion/Ingestion accident.
(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
5/9/2011 Caller's dog chewed on one bait station two days ago. The dog developed twitching and tremors yesterday. Most of the plastic was ingested. 5/16/2011 Callback to the original caller for follow up information. The dog was not taken to a veterinarian for evaluation. The dog was monitored at home, and the symptoms subsided without treatment. Caller was unsure of the duration of symptoms.
Moderate
The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone Interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and can not form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified in the telephone interviews. The potential dose of abamectin this large dog could have received from a single bait station is below any dose of this compound that could potentially lead to illness in a dog this size and is unlikely to be the cause of this dog's symptoms. The dose of abamectin used within the ant bait station is significantly smaller than the dose of ivermectin, a similar compound to abamectin, used therapeutically by veterinarians to treat heartworm in dogs. Typically, when an entire bait station is ingested by a dog including the plastic housing, the primarily symptoms reported are vomiting and diarrhea. Such gastrointestinal symptoms were not reported in this case.
