(p.ex. description des symptômes tels que la fréquence et la gravité
5/8/2009 Caller is a veterinarian treating a dog that presented yesterday after having punctured a bait station 48 hours ago. The plastic bait station itself was still intact and not swallowed. Over the past 24 hours, the dog became lethargic and had vomited five or six times. The dog was given sugar water and Nutracal yesterday to which the dog responded well. There was no plastic ingested. The dog presents today and is still lethargic. 5/12/2009 Callback to the original caller for follow up information. Diagnostic testing revealed an intestinal tumor. The dog underwent emergency surgery. The dog developed severe bleeding and passed away under anesthesia. Biopsies of the tumor tissue were taken, however the pathology report is still pending.

The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone Interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and can not form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified in the telephone interviews. Exposure history appears to indicate that even though the bait station had been chewed on, it was still intact such that majority of the bait pesticide still remained within the bait station housing. Secondly, the potential dose of abamectin this large dog could have received from a single ant bait station is well below any dose of this compound that could potentially lead to illness in a dog this size and is unlikely to have been the cause of this dog's death. The dose of abamectin used within the ant bait station is significant smaller than the dose of ivermectin, a similar compound to abamectin, used therapeutically by veterinarians to treat heartworm in dogs. Furthermore, any relationship between the minimal bait exposure and the development of a tumor is inconceivable and lacks biological plausibility. First, the contents of the bait station are not known carcinogens, but more importantly, there is always a significant delay (months to years) between a period of exposure to a chemical carcinogen and the development of neoplasia.
