(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-27677023- The reporter, a veterinarian, indicated an animal had presented to him which may have been exposed to an herbicide containing the active ingredient diquat. The reporter indicates a seven year one hundred thirty four pound male mixed breed dog had presented with the signs of diarrhea, anorexia, and the animal was unable rise or use its hind legs. The reporter indicated two days prior to his report the animal had run through a field (unspecified crop) that had either been sprayed with the indicated product or an unspecified Round up product. The caller was unsure which product had been used, the specific formulation of either product or he re-entry interval though he was able to say the animal had run into the field just as spraying had been completed. The veterinarian was advised of the toxicity profile of the diquat product, appropriate diagnostics and standards of care following exposure. He was advised the signs seen would be largely inconsistent with the exposure described. He was advised to seek advice from the registrant of the Round up product directly regarding expectations following a similar exposure. On follow up five days later the veterinarian stated the animal had been euthanized. He stated the signs were related to a back injury rather than any herbicide exposure. No further information is available.
Death
As noted by physician, was due to back injury, not pesticide exposure.
