The owner applied this product to her yard on Friday and Saturday. Shortly after the owner applied the product on Sat she noticed the pet in the area eating and licking some plants. The pet then became symptomatic Sat afternoon/evening, he began having diarrhea and displaying some lethargy. The pet has continued to have diarrhea since then, stayed lethargic and began experiencing some hindend weakness Sun morning. The owner was informed that Glufosinate is a phosphinic analog of glutamic acid, which is an excitatory amino acid in the CNS. The most common side effects from exposures to products containing glufosinate are vomiting and diarrhea. Large exposures could potentially lead to seizures, respiratory distress, and GI ulcerations.
