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

To be determined by Registrant
18. Severity classification (if there is more than 1 possible classification
Death
19. Provide supplemental information here
Unlikely that grazing in pasture with properly applied herbicide would cause illness, let alone sudden death - especially with 3 still healthy horses and this mare's 2 week old foal in same enclosure. Because the amount was unknown consistent, the patient was considered to be at low risk of developing clinical signs. If signs develop, there is low risk that those signs will be life-threatening. Unless horse was grazing newly treated toxic plants, this product is unlikely involved.
