(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-33643009 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicated that his dog was exposed to an insecticidal collar containing the active ingredient tetrachlorvinphos. The reporter indicated that he applied the collar to his 5.5 month old, 27.5 pound, female Border collie approximately one week prior to initial contact with the registrant. Sometime after the collar was placed, the reporter is unable to specify exactly when, the dog suffered from vomiting, 5-6 episodes of diarrhea, drooling and inappetance. The collar was removed three days prior to initial contact and the dog was bathed in a non-insecticidal animal shampoo. The last vomiting episode was two days prior to initial contact and one day prior to initial contact the stool seemed to be firming up. At the time of initial contact the dog was outside playing and her energy level was normal but per the reporter she was still not herself. The reporter was advised that animals with sensitivity to the product may develop the described symptoms but typically these symptoms would only be expected if the dog suffered from an overdose by ingestion of the collar or inappropriate application. The reporter was further advised that there are numerous possible causes for gastrointestinal upset and he should seek veterinary care for a diagnosis and appropriate treatment. The reporter could not be reached on follow-up. No further information is available.
