(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-44742371 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicated her dog was exposed to an insecticidal spot-on product containing the active ingredient D-phenothrin. The reporter applied the product to her 6-year-old, 44-pound, female, Airedale Terrier dog five days before initial contact with the registrant. Three days before the initial contact with the registrant, the dog developed lethargy, anorexia, ataxia, labored breathing, coughing, and wheezing. The reporter bathed the dog, and she seemed a bit better. One day before initial contact, the reporter took the dog to a veterinarian who said the dogs lab work and radiographs were normal, but the dogs heartrate was elevated. The dog was prescribed antibiotics and given an injection. The reporter did not start the antibiotics. On the day of initial contact with the registrant, the dog had developed muscle tremors, and her breathing was slightly better. The reporter was advised to seek veterinary care for the dog at a specialty center as her symptoms were very concerning. The product might cause anorexia and lethargy, and at higher doses ataxia, but would not be expected to cause breathing problems. The reporter said she was unlikely to seek advanced veterinary care due to financial concerns. On follow-up call eight days later, the reporter said the dog had died three days after initial contact. No additional information is available.
