(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On an unknown date, the owner took the dog to an emergency veterinarian for treatment of unknown symptoms and the dog died some time later. On January 9, 2013 the owner's regular veterinarian contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) to obtain help. The APSS veterinarian stated that if the product were applied per label to a dog of a size consistent with the product label, at most mild gastrointestinal (GI) irritation or a reaction to the product spreading might be seen. The APSS assistant recommended that the owner's regular veterinarian obtain additional information about the situation by asking the owner or by having the owner ask if the veterinarian who treated the dog could call with the relevant information regarding onset of signs, the progression of the signs, and when the product was applied.
Death
The APSS veterinarian stated that the substance was not considered to be related to causing the clinical situation. A follow up was not performed, because additional information was not expected unless the owner or treating veterinarian contacted the APSS to provide information.
