1-43830141 - The reporter, a veterinarian, indicated a dog was exposed to an insecticidal spot-on product containing the active ingredient D-phenothrin. The reporters client applied the product to his 13-year-old, 85 pound, Golden Retriever female dog one day prior to initial contact with the registrant. On the day the product was applied, the reporters client noted the pet was lethargic and had difficulty breathing. The dog was brought into the reporter for treatment on the day of the initial contact. The reporter was advised to bathe the dog and treat symptomatically. The reporter was informed of the necropsy policy. On follow-up one day later, the reporter stated the dog had died and the death had nothing to do with the product.
