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

1-46067461 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicated her dog was exposed to an insecticidal shampoo containing the active ingredient D-phenothrin. One day before the day of initial contact with the registrant, the reporter bathed her 5.5-pound, 11-month-old, female Maltese dog with the product. During the bathing, the dog licked the water and immediately vomited. Within 45 minutes after bathing, the dog had ataxia, hyper-salivation and muscle tremors. The reporter bathed the dog again with an unknown shampoo and brought her to a veterinarian. The dog died after being at the veterinary clinic for 5 minutes. The reporter was told that this is not an expected reaction to the product. Necropsy was discussed with the reporter and the proper forms were faxed to the veterinary clinic. No additional information is available.
