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

1-28171932- The reporter, a pet owner, indicated his animal was exposed to an insecticidal product containing the active ingredient tetrachlorvinphos and methoprene. The pet owner indicated he had applied the product to his ten year twenty pound female Lhasa Apso the night prior to his initial contact with the registrant. That morning he had noted the animal developed difficulty controlling urination, drooling, heavy breathing and convulsions. The pet owner had taken the pet to the veterinarian where it was provided intravenous fluid therapy, diazepam and atropine. The pet owner was advised the signs seen would be unexpected following use per the label. He was advised to continue to follow with his veterinarian. The pet owner later spontaneously called back and indicated the animal had died. He was advised of registrant supported necropsy to determine the cause of death. He declined this and took his animal home and buried it. No further information is available.
