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

1-33101448 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicated that her dog may have been exposed to a rodenticide containing the active ingredient brodifacoum. The reporter indicated that on the day of initial contact her neighbor had seen her 40 pound, 9-month-old, Australian Shepherd in an area where some bait had been placed but ingestion of the bait was not observed. The reporter also indicated that her dog had access to the neighbors house two weeks prior to initial contact and may have ingested some bait at that time as well although that ingestion was not witnessed either. The reporter was advised to take her dog to the veterinarian where the antidote, vitamin K1, could be prescribed if needed. On follow-up call, two days later, the reporter indicated that she took her dog to the veterinarian one day after initial contact. The veterinarian measured her dogs prothrombin time, found that it was prolonged and started the dog on a 21 day course of vitamin K1. No further information is available.
