The APSS veterinarian stated that dermal irritation could be seen, as with any contact exposure, and that although propoxur is a cholinesterase inhibitor, systemic toxicity would not be expected. The APSS assistant recommended that the owner take the dog to the veterinarian and have the veterinarian call for information.
