Treatment / Traitement
(p.ex. description des symptômes tels que la fréquence et la gravité
On August 8, the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) veterinarian stated that these signs would not be expected with exposure to the products. The dog had also been exposed to a , chlorout product and pennies in the dog's water bowl. The APSS veterinarian recommended the owner take the dog to the veterinarian for an exam. Later that same day, the owner called back. He stated that he was on a limited budget and was unable to afford treatment. He purchased a vitamin supplement from a pet store and gave some to the dog. An APSS technician recommended again that the dog be seen by a veterinarian, and if treatment is not an option to have his veterinarian call us for recommendations. Later that day, the dog's veterinarian called to consult with an APSS veterinarian. The APSS veterinarian stated that these signs are not consistent with exposure to these products. The owner gave the dog B12 gel and obtained some metronidazole. On August 11, 2008 the owner called to say that they had taken the dog to an emergency veterinarian for bloodwork. The APSS veterinarian stated that according to the bloodwork results, the dog is in renal failure. This is a serious condition and the APSS veterinarian recommended the dog be hospitalized immediately. On August 12, 2008 the owner called to report that the dog was in the veterinary clinic on intravenous fluids. On August 18, 2008 the owner called to report that the dog's bloodwork is worsening, but that he did not have specific values. At this time they were considering euthanasia. On August 20, 2008, an APSS assistant called the clinic to obtain an update on the dog's condition, but was unable to obtain an update. On August 22, 2008, the dog's veterinarian called the APSS assistant and stated that the only time he had seen the patient was on August 7, 2008. The owner stated only that the dog had vomited a couple of times for a two to three days, was eating grass, and had a poor appetite. At that time the veterinarian diagnosed the dog with a sensitive trachea. He stated that he thought the dog was coughing from ingesting the grass and gagged to the point of vomiting. The veterinarian gave the dog an injection of Cerenia and sent the dog home on no medications. He stated that the last he had heard, the owners were obtaining several medications from local feed stores and trying to self-diagnose and treat at home. One of the owners called his office on August 18, 2008 and stated the dog was dead. The veterinarian stated that it was unlikely that the pet had been seen at another clinic to be euthanized, so it likely died at home.

A follow up was not deemed necessary due to the inconsistencies in the case and the questionable reliability of the owner.
