Accidental ingestion/Ingestion accident.
(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On September 28, 2019, the dog ingested some granules of this bait. The dog then vomited a few times. Soon after, the regular veterinarian contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The regular veterinarian stated that the dog's heart rate was normal with a value of 136.0 beats per minute (bpm). The APSS veterinarian stated that methomyl is a carbamate that is rapidly absorbed after ingestion, but does not accumulate in the tissues and that it does not "age" on the receptors like organophosphates (OPs) do, so signs are often short-lived. The APSS veterinarian also stated that signs occur within minutes after ingestion. Finally, the APSS veterinarian stated that if not a lethal exposure, signs are expected to resolve spontaneously due to the reversible nature of carbamate toxicity. The APSS veterinarian recommended the regular veterinarian monitor at a veterinary facility (for another 30-60 minutes (min)), monitor for gastrointestinal (GI) signs, monitor for central nervous system (CNS) signs, monitor cardiovascular function, provide atropine cholinergic toxicity (as needed for bronchial secretions, bradycardia), give diazepam, manage seizures, and to call back with questions.
Minor
Signs were expected to be mild and self-limiting. After one hour the dog was acting normal, self decontaminated was suspected. This was off label use, the bait should not be anywhere pets may have access to.
