(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
Owner placed two blocks two days ago and found the next day that both blocks were missing. Owner did set out an additional two blocks last night but they were attached to the area were they were placed. They appeared chewed but they are not in reach for the dog. Owner found three piles of vomitus. There is some evidence of rodenticide in vomitus. The owner was advised that this agent is an anticoagulant rodenticide. With this exposure, we can see coagulopathy. Initial clinical signs are vague: anorexia, lethargy, exercise intolerance. Signs progress hemorrhage into chest (causing dysnpea), abdomen, or joint (causing lameness). May see bruising. On October 26, 2012, Owner called back to update the case. Owner was told by her DVM that the PT would not be necessary at 48-72 hours post last dose. Owner was told that the test was expensive and a difficult process. Owner thought the clinic told her they would have to get comparable's from another dog. Per the Dr. PT testing is a pretty common practice and generally involves obtaining the blood in a special tube and sending off to a lab, however there might be some differences in Canada. Recommended owner have clinic call to discuss PT test if they have any questions. We recommend the PT as a safety precaution as this rodenticide is a second generation anticoagulant. Most dogs do fine with a 30 day dose of vitamin K1, however again this is a precaution. [Name] (the dog) was given an injection at the clinic as well as placed on Vitamin K1 for 30 days
