(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On July 31, 2015 the dog developed anorexia, adipsia, vomiting, and diarrhea. On August 3, 2015 the owner took the dog to the veterinarian, where the dog was diagnosed with renal failure; with a blood urea nitrogen of 299.0 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), serum creatinine of 20.0 mg/dL, and serum phosphorus of 25.0 mg/dL. The attending veterinarian then started fluid therapy, supportive care, and symptomatic care. Later that night, the dog died. On August 7, 2015 the attending veterinarian called the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The attending veterinarian stated that this dog had not been seen by the clinic before and there was an unknown history. The APSS veterinarian stated dermal exposure could result in dermal irritation (as with any topical exposure) or paresthesia. The APSS veterinarian also stated ingestion could result in gastrointestinal (GI) upset and hypersalivation. The APSS veterinarian discussed that the product's ingredients will not cause renal failure.
Death
The APSS veterinarian stated that the substance was not considered to be related to causing the clinical situation. On August 7, 2015 the APSS veterinarian realized that the product was labeled for use in dogs, so she called the veterinary clinic back and left a message letting them know that the manufacturer would offer a necropsy if the body is preserved well. On August 13, 2015 an APSS technician called the clinic to discuss the necropsy and left a message. On August 14, 2015 the attending veterinarian returned the call to the APSS. The APSS veterinarian stated that the manufacturer would have offered a necropsy. The attending veterinarian stated that the clinic has paid for a necropsy and the results are pending.
