(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On December 10, 2012 the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) to obtain help after observing that the goat had ingested some of the bait product. The APSS veterinarian stated that the product is a second generation anticoagulant and that doses of concern begin around 0.02 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) and higher. Regarding the previous exposure to magnesium sulfate (epsom salts) on December 8, 2012, the APSS veterinarian stated that they can cause elevations in magnesium, leading to signs of nausea, vomiting, ataxia, weakness, arrhythmias, hypotension, bradycardia, respiratory paralysis, and death. The APSS veterinarian also stated that risks include internal bleeding and coagulopathies 3 to 7 days after ingestion. The APSS assistant recommended that the owner take the goat to the veterinarian and have the veterinarian call for information.
Death
The APSS veterinarian stated that the substance was not considered to be related to causing the clinical situation and that the magnesium sulfate (epsom salts) were considered to have an unknown likelihood of causing the clinical situation. On December 13, 2012 the owner called the APSS to update the case. On the evening of December 12, 2012 the owner noticed that the goat was anorexic. On the morning of December 13, 2012 the owner noticed that the goat was disoriented, flopping her head back and forth, and that the goat was also dehydrated. A short time later that morning, the owner observed that the goat died. A necropsy was not available.
