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

On 20-May-2019 a pet owner reported their dog had been hospitalized since 17-May-2019. On 17-May-2019 the dog developed ataxia, muscle tremors, diarrhea, and excessive salivation. The dog was immediately brought to an emergency veterinarian where blood work, including testing for Lyme disease and blood clotting issues, was performed and found to be normal. The dog was treated with IV fluids, an unspecified muscle relaxant, and an unknown antibiotic. The veterinarian told the owner the dog's signs may be related to ingestion of mold since the dog lives on a farm. Packs of product were recently placed out in the farm lunchroom, but no ingestion of bait by the dog was witnessed. On 20-May-2019 the dog was very depressed, unable to stand, and not eating or drinking (adipsic) while in the hospital. The veterinarian reported that the dog was still exhibiting neurological signs and had no signs of bleeding. The veterinarian confirmed that a PT test (to measure blood clotting ability) performed on 17-May-2019 was normal. On 21-May-2019 the pet owner reported the dog's signs continued. No further information was received so the final case outcome is unknown.
