[company name] (Pest Licence #(redacted)) sprayed Lilly Miller Moss Out! For Lawns Concentrate (EPA No. 802-509) all over the property at (address), an 88-unit pet-friendly apartment building with pet designated outside areas sometime on Saturday, April 6, 2024, as contracted by (company name). Signage was insufficient and no notice to tenants or site manager was given. I was not given the name of the pesticide used until 48 hours after exposure and as such, could not know which First Aid emergency measures to take. I later found out that Lilly Miller Moss out is NOT approved for use in Canada. Had the tenants been informed and/or adequate signage been in place, we could have saved my dog and my son considerable pain and damage. I asked (company name) for the name of the pesticide, so that I could take First Aid measures. Despite the promise of a call back, no one from (company name) contacted me until 24 hours later, on Monday April 8. Upon learning the name of the pesticide, I immediately Googled it, obtained the Safety Data Sheet and took the First Aid measures recommended, which included calling Poison Control.

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

My dog had already had four serious grand mal seizures as a result of the exposure on Saturday afternoon. I kept my dog off the grass for exactly one week, however Saturday night I took her out and she is now sick again. My dog experienced five grand mal seizures, weakness, lethargy, ataxia, nystagmus, inappetence after initial exposure. She experienced nystagmus, disorientation and violent diarrhea after the second exposure. After my dog had already had four serious grand mal seizures as a result of the exposure on Saturday afternoon, I called (company name) at 9:07 am on Sunday, April 7. It was unknown whether the two of them breathed in the poison, the time of application and what pesticide was actually used. I also called Pet poison Control, as recommended by our veterinarian and took (dog's name) to the vet for an exam. Had I been given the name of the pesticide on Sunday when I requested it I could have saved my dog from having any further seizures. It is clear that (dog's name) also brought the pesticides into our unit with her, likely on her paws or fur. Symptoms resolved upon application of the First Aid measures, although it will take longer for some of (dog name)'s neurological symptoms to fully resolve and it is unknown if the exposure has caused long-term damage that was completely avoidable.
