(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1/27/2016 3:29:19 PM Caller states one of her 4 dogs died unexpectedly last night and she would like information regarding the product. Her lawn service placed an unknown amount of the product in multiple mole holes in her yard over the summer and she would like to know if it would still be considered toxic. The lawn service told her dogs are not attracted to the product and wouldn't seek it out; however her dogs dig holes in the yard daily and it is unknown if any of them ingested the product. On 1/24/2016, her dog began projectile vomiting, was drinking more than usual and would not eat. There was no blood in the vomit. On 1/25/2016 the dog was evaluated by her veterinarian; bloodwork and radiographs were normal. It is not known what therapies he received while he was there, except for subcutaneous fluids. He continued to decline; he was very lethargic and anorexic. Last night the caller brought him to an emergency hospital where he passed away. The caller elected to have a necropsy performed and the results are pending. After learning how the active ingredient works and that the product is a neurotoxin, she no longer thinks her dog's death is related to the product. She stated he did not show any neurological signs.
