(p.ex. description des symptômes tels que la fréquence et la gravité
On August 6, 2017, shortly after the dog developed signs, the owner called their regular veterinarian, removed the collar, and rinsed off the dog's coat. On the morning on August 7, 2017, the owner took the dog to the regular veterinarian who administered a test dose of atropine that elevated, the dog's heart rate. The regular veterinarian then contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS), whose veterinarian stated that tetrachlorvinphos is an organophosphate (OP) with a very wide margin of safety and that it is used in flea collars for dogs. The APSS veterinarian further stated that it is very rare to see (SLUDDE) or nicotinic signs with tetrachlorvinphos. The APSS veterinarian recommended that the regular veterinarian do a diagnostic evaluation, provide supportive care and symptomatic care, and to call back with questions.
Mort
The APSS veterinarian stated that the substance was considered to have a doubtful likelihood of causing the clinical situation. On September 17, 2017 the owner contacted the APSS to report the dog had passed away that morning. The owner stated that the dog developed wheezing and dyspnea on September 16 prior to death. The owner also stated that the dog's heart had been racing ever since the atropine was given by the regular veterinarian. The APSS veterinarian advised that the dog may have had an underlying heart condition and that the death was not caused by the chemical in the flea collar. A necropsy was unavailable as the dog had already been buried.
