On 14-May-2020, a 11 year old, 13 pound, neutered, male, Yorkshire Terrier/Poodle (Unspecified) crossbred dog, in unknown condition, with no known concomitant medical conditions, possibly came into contact with a Hartz UltraGuard Flea and Tick Collar for Cats and Kittens (Tetrachlorvinphos) that was applied to a cat in the home via an unknown route. On 15-May-2020, the dog developed vomiting and lethargy and was evaluated by a veterinarian. The dog was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and was sent home with oral antibiotics. After returning home from the veterinary facility, the dog exhibited abnormal breathing (dyspnea) and stood near his water, refusing to drink. The animal owner was unable to administer the oral antibiotics, due to the dog's persistent vomiting and nausea. On 16-May-2020, the lethargy worsened and the dog had difficulty standing and walking. The dog was evaluated by different veterinarian. The dog was administered subcutaneous fluids, antibiotic injection, and an anti-nausea medication. X-rays were taken and it was discovered the dog had two kidney stones, that when flushed, were shown to not cause an obstruction. The dog's body temperature was lower than normal (value unspecified). The veterinarian recommended feeding a bland diet and the dog was sent home. After returning home, the dog exhibited anorexia, was unable to get up, and would not urinate. The veterinarian was called, and they recommended continuing to monitor at home. Later that night, the dog was unable to move his rear legs (paralysis) and then died at home. It was not specified if a necropsy was pursued. The cat wearing the Hartz collar remained asymptomatic.

Assessment: No specific exposure to the product is known in this case, only that the dog may have come in contact with the collar after application to the cat. If the dog licked the cat's collar, only minor GI upset would be expected. The dog was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and urinary stones. Complications related to these conditions are a much more likely cause of death than possible exposure to the collar. It is also possible the urinary stones were an incidental finding and not the main cause of signs for this dog. Causes including pyelonephritis (kidney infection), urinary obstruction, underlying kidney disease, infectious diseases (Lyme disease, leptospirosis) and cancer should also be considered. 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 cannot 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.
