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

6/24/2013 Caller applied the product last night on plants and flowerbeds. The dog was in the yard this morning and the lawn was still damp, and may have been outside last night as they have a dog door allowing free access. This morning the dog developed vomiting, diarrhea, and shortness of breath. The dog was taken to the veterinarian where intravenous fluids were started and blood work and chest radiographs are pending. Received a follow-up call from the treating veterinarian. The dog is very dehydrated on presentation, has blood in her stools, bleeding from her nose, and still vomiting and having shortness of breath. Follow-up with owner completed on 7/10/2013. Two hours after speaking to the veterinarian, the dog started convulsing and died. The veterinarian does not believe the product was the cause, and suspects rat poison or a cancerous mass that burst, but actual cause is unknown.
