(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-40788672 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicated that her dog was exposed to an insecticidal spot-on product containing the active ingredients phenothrin and methoprene. The reporter applied the product to her 12-year-old, 60 pound mixed breed dog on the afternoon of initial contact with the registrant and forty five minutes prior to her initial call the dog started staggering, falling down, breathing rapidly and could hardly eat or drink. The reporter was advised that per package labeling the product should only be used on aged dogs after consulting with a veterinarian. Based on the severity of the described symptoms immediate veterinary care was recommended. On follow-up call, one day later, the reporter indicated that before she could take her dog to the veterinarian it died. Prior to death the dog was moaning, had lots of blood coming from his rectum, pink fluid coming from his mouth, he was breathing rapidly and his heart was racing. The reporter was advised that the described symptoms are not consistent with exposure to the product and a necropsy was recommended to help determine an underlying cause. No additional information is available.
