Owner was called to continue the case review, however the call was bumped to internal DVM who spoke with the animal owner. Since the pet was taking vitamin K the DVM didn't feel that the signs were related. Vitamin K is a specific antidote and at appropriate dose is expected to prevent a coagulopathy. The caller wanted to know what happened to the dog, unfortunately an answer was not able to be provided for that question. Necropsy is pending. Outcome unknown
Death
Based on the initial information provided, it would appear that the vet treated the animal incorrectly by administering vitamin K as an antidote for an active that was not involved in the incident. Vitamin K has been reported to have the same effect on animals as a rodenticide poisoning. The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone Interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and can not form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified.
