1-18466583: A reporter (dog owner) called on 05/14/2009 to report the exposure of her puppy to a flea and tick collar containing the active ingredients Tetrachlorvinphos and Methoprene. According to the reporter, the collar was placed on the puppy on 05/11/2009. Within 2-3 hours following collar placement, the puppy began vomiting. The collar was removed at that time, but the vomiting continued on 05/12/2009. The puppy was taken to the veterinarian on 05/12/2009 where it was given fluids and an unknown medication to settle the stomach. The puppy was taken home that same day and became very lethargic. The dog was taken back to the veterinary clinic that evening where it was bathed and given more fluids. On 05/13/2009, the puppy had yellow-colored bowel movements that then became diarrhea. The puppy was seen again by the veterinarian where it was hospitalized and given more fluids. The puppy was jaundiced and had persistent vomiting on 05/14/2009. Blood work was collected and was pending at the time of the report. The reporter provided the veterinarian's telephone number for follow up. The reporter was advised that the signs described are not expected with routine product use. An initial attempt at follow up with the veterinarian on 05/15/2009 was unsuccessful. On 05/18/2009, contact was established with the attending veterinarian. According to the veterinarian, the puppy's blood work indicated multiple organ failure (BUN greater than 300, liver enzymes in the 3000-4000 range). While the veterinarian did not think that the puppy's signs were consistent with organophosphate toxicity secondary to collar placement, several doses of atropine were given. The puppy's owner was encouraged to touch base with the breeder given the dog's sudden and severe illness. The puppy was taken home on 05/16/2009. It died at home over the weekend. The veterinarian was advised that the brief exposure to the collar would be unlikely to result in the signs described. The veterinarian was encouraged to consider a congenital reason for the illness. There was a discussion regarding cholinesterase testing and necropsy to determine cause of death, but it may be too late depending on the time of the puppy's death. No further information was obtained.
