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

1-41371386 - The reporter, a pest control operator, indicated that three dogs were exposed to a registrant insecticide containing the active ingredient Lambda-cyhalothrin. The reporter sprayed an overhead wasps nest at a customers house seven days prior to initial contact with the registrant. Three days prior to initial contact, the reporter returned to the customers home, knocked the nest down and stepped on it. That same day the pet owner saw one of her three dogs eat part of the nest. Either the day before or the day the nest was knocked down all three of the dogs developed bloody stool. The dogs have been to the veterinarian and are on some unknown medication. The reporter was advised that ingestion of the product may cause transient gastrointestinal upset but bloody stool is not consistent with the described exposure. No additional information is available.
