17. Provide any additional details about the incident

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

Owner applied the dust 5 days ago and x walked right through it, licked it and inhaled some of it. Shortly after the owner gave him pepto bismal because he started to have a hard time breathing. After the pepto wasnt working the owner took him into the DVM where they were thinking it was kennel cough but upon examination they ruled it out. The pet has a red throat, labored breathing, his ears and nose are inflamed. He was sent home with antibiotics, the owner also mentioned that he was not interested in eating the first couple of days afterwards but he is not eating a little more. (by LD on Jun 14, 2018 at 02:37 PM)] Because the amount was somewhat consistent, the patient was considered to be at low risk of developing clinical signs. If signs develop, there is low risk that those signs will be life-threatening. Animal owner was advised product is mostly diatomaceous earth. IF really agitated to put a cloud into air, and then the airborne particles inhaled, could see signs of respiratory tract irritation, might lead to granulomatous reaction in lungs .Given the timeline, this does not seem likely.
