1-18626720: A reporter (dog owner) called on 05/28/2009 to report the possible exposure of her dog to a slug and snail bait containing the active ingredient Metaldehyde. According to the reporter, the dog may have ingested the product anytime within the 24 hours prior to the report. At the time of the report the dog was having seizures, and the reporter was en route to the veterinarian. The reporter was advised that the product is highly toxic in small amounts, and animals with possible product exposure need to be seen by a veterinarian. The signs of product toxicity were reviewed. The reporter was encouraged to have the dog evaluated and treated by the veterinarian. The reporter was also encouraged to have the veterinarian draw blood to monitor liver values. On follow up, the reporter stated that the dog was seen by a veterinarian, but the veterinarian said the dog was "too far gone." No treatment was instituted and the dog died on 05/28/2009.
