(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
The horse, which was previously in good health, got into a pasture that had been sprayed the same morning. Horse was not doing well and was taken to a vet. The vet found that the horse had actually choked on grain. They started the horse on medications. The horse went back home and stayed in a stall. It was drinking well and eating okay but not 100% healthy. The caller was not sure what medications the horse was on except for Unipram. The horse died 2 days later. Owner thinks it was just old age and stress from the choking that caused his death, not the product.
