Over half the dogs (58.8% [201\/342]) did not develop clinical signs, and specific clinical signs were reported for the remaining 41.2% (141\/342) of dogs. There were 180 total clinical signs recorded for these 141 dogs, with some dogs having developed &gt; 1 category of clinical signs. Clinical signs involving the gastrointestinal tract were the most commonly reported type of clinical sign (66.7% [n = 120\/180 reported signs]), followed by generalized malaise (17.8% [32\/180]), CNS signs (8.9% [16\/180]), respiratory signs (3.3% [6\/180]), and cardiovascular signs (1.7% [3\/180]). Approximately 65% (234\/362) of patients received veterinary care (including decontamination via induction of emesis, gastric lavage, or activated charcoal administration), and of these dogs, 51.3% (120\/234) were hospitalized.
