17. Provide any additional details about the incident

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

Owner applied this product about 1-2 wks ago per label instructions. The dog was allowed into the yard the next day, but was observed licking the tree yesterday. Last pm, the dog started vomiting. The dog has continued to vomit today after each time she drinks water. Caller was advised that because the amount was unknown consistent, the patient was considered to be at unknown risk of developing clinical signs. If signs develop, there is moderate risk that those signs will be life-threatening. If this dog licked the product directly from the bottle then these signs would be expected but if the product has been exposed to the elements for over a week then it is unlikely that this product caused the clinical signs.
