17. Provide any additional details about the incident

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

Owner was outside with the dog at 4pm, while she was applying this in her gardens. She did not see the pet actually eat any of this or get into the bag. Pet vomited once at 5:30pm and started trembling and drooling about 45 minutes ago. Owner was advised that we can see GI upset at most with a small exposure and that they can manage the dog over the next hour to let the stomach settle. Call back if dog vomits anymore. Check to see if the dog could have been exposed to anything else. Spoke with owner on a call back. Owner confirmed pet was improving. She was, however, worried about interaction between it and the animals medications. Would not expect this. Owner mentioned Ben wobbled on his feet as he came into the room during the call, but this just happened once. She thinks he may just be tired. Advised her to call us back if it happens again/pet seems to actually have become ataxic.
