1-31201498 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicated that her dog was exposed to a spot-on insecticidal product containing the active ingredient phenothrin. The pet owner reported that the product was applied to her 5-year-old, male Basset Hound 11 days prior to initial contact with the registrant. The day after the product was applied the reporter found her dog in the yard drooling and confused. Later that day the dog couldn get up and then it was trembling and was ataxic. The reporter bathed the dog in a non-insecticidal shampoo and brought the dog to her veterinarian that night. The reporter indicated that the veterinarian hospitalized the dog for 2 days on intravenous fluids and blood work was run which showed a high white blood cell count and a high red blood cell count. Two days later the dog was still not himself but he was sent home on oral antibiotics and Rimadyl no diagnosis was given by the veterinarian. Four days prior to initial contact with the registrant the dog had diarrhea and 3 days prior to initial contact the dog stopped eating. The dog vomited once one day prior to initial contact and passed away at home that same night. The reporter was advised that an increased white blood cell count is an indication of an infection and is not consistent with exposure to this product. It was recommended that she discuss the diagnosis with her veterinarian. No further information is available.
