History: Caller bathed her 2 yo, female, Jack Russell Terrier with Control Conditioning Flea and Tick Shampoo for the first time 3 days ago. Within several hours after bathing, the dog became lethargic. Later in the middle of the night, the dog developed "rapid and hard" breathing through her nose, and bloody diarrhea. Owner called her emergency clinic. Veterinary staff recommended she bathe the dog with dish soap. Following bathing with dish soap at home, the dog was taken promptly to the E-clinic, where vet staff bathed the dog a second time. The dog presented with pale MM's. The veterinarian prescribed unknown "pills" for the diarrhea. Owner then discussed with her veterinarian, the "new" shampoo that she used. Caller states that her veterinarian was confident that the Hartz shampoo was responsible for the symptoms that were occurring, as they had "seen this same reaction before in other animals". The veterinarian did not perform any diagnostic tests or bloodwork. The dog was sent home, however, dog owner could not administer the antidiarrheal medication, as the dog had developed a very dry mouth. Yesterday, the dog died suddenly at home and was buried. Owner declines necropsy testing, as the dog has already been buried and caller agrees with her veterinarian, that the product killed her dog. Assessment: - Discussed with caller that the symptoms described are atypical following a dermal exposure and are not related to product use. - Talked about the wide safety margin and low toxic order of the active ingredient, d-trans Allethrin < 1%, and that healthy, adult dogs are not expected to be sensitive with normal, routine use. - Empathized with caller over their loss and situation. Given the history provided, I am uncertain as to what may have caused your dog's symptoms and death at this time. Hartz products have a very wide margin of safety and low level of toxicity when used according to the labeled directions.
