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

Owner believes the exposure happened sometime between 7:30am-10:15am (EST). Owner found the stations that held the bait licked. Owner doesn't know how much, if any, could have been ingested. The dog has vomited many times - foam. Owner states 10x total in the hour. His jaw is also trembling after he vomits. The caller was advised that the severity of vomiting is concerning. Owner wants to determine all baits involved. Regardless, the dog should be seen now to control the vomiting, then treat the rodenticide exposures. Provided the owner the case information. Asked owner to call back with questions. Have DVM call to discuss the case. On August 14, 2012, during a follow up call, the caller advised that the vomiting had stopped on it's own. Owners have not yet taken dog to DVM. They spoke with a friend who is a veterinarian and it sounds as if they opted to monitor at home. They think only remnants may have been ingested. Per vet friend. It would not take much to reach a concerning dose of this ingredient for Jesse (amount roughly equivalent in weight to 1.5 American nickels It would be best to have a PT time checked tomorrow (8/15) morning at the least. Signs may not develop for several days post exposure and are not always visible externally.
