(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On August 31, 2016 the owner suspects that the dog ingested a dead rat that may have been exposed to the product. The dog could have had access to the bait the day before, although no known exposure is known as dog is allowed to roam outside where many bars were used around the property. The dog developed lethargy, anorexia, labored breathing, bloodshot eyes. The bloodshot eyes resolved later that evening. On September 1, 2016 the owner's caregiver called the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The APSS veterinarian stated a bleeding diathesis is possible 72 hours from the time of exposure. The APSS assistant recommended taking the dog to the veterinarian and having the veterinarian call for information. The APSS assistant discussed the severity of the situation. The caller stated she would discuss it with the owner, but the caller didn't sound like they will be able to take the dog into the clinic. The APSS assistant again mentioned that this could be fatal and the caller is aware.
Death
The APSS veterinarian stated that the substance was considered to have a medium likelihood of causing the clinical situation. On September 5, 2016 the APSS assistant called the owner's caregiver for an update. The owner's caregiver stated that the dog died on September 2, 2016 and they did not take the dog to the veterinarian for any treatment. The APSS assistant relayed the APSS veterinarian's recommendation for a necropsy, but the dog's body had been buried a couple of days ago.
