17. Provide any additional details about the incident

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

Owners found a bottle cap filled with an ant killing liquid had been pulled out from underneath a grill in the yard. The dog was vomiting. A dead bee was also nearby so the owner thought this may have been involved in some way. Caller was advised that exposure is usually a low risk situation due to low toxicity of borax and due to low concentration. Wouldn't expect more than mild GI signs if a larger amount of the product consumed. Wouldn't even expect this with such a small amount. Pet may have been stung in the mouth by the bee. Watch for continued vomiting and have pet seen by DVM if they persist. Owner noted that the animal also ingested grass.
