(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
In the early morning hours of July 31, 2017 the dog had three isolated events of vomiting. Shortly after, the owner rinsed the dog off with water. Several hours later, the owner noticed the dog hadn't urinated or defecated all morning. The owner then contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The APSS technician stated that shampoo, if licked, may cause mild self-limiting gastrointestinal (GI) upset. The APSS veterinarian noted for the spot on that permethrin is a pyrethroid and that dogs tolerate pyrethroids well. The APSS veterinarian also stated that no life threatening signs are expected. Finally the APSS veterinarian stated that methoprene is an insect growth regulator (IGR) with a wide margin of safety. The APSS assistant recommended the owner provide the dog with light exercise (want to see if the pet urinated, if so what color was it, was he straining, dribbling out, steady flow), monitor at home, monitor for GI signs (vomiting, diarrhea), and to call back with questions.
Minor
The APSS veterinarian stated that the substances were considered to have a doubtful likelihood of causing the clinical situation. Soon after, the owner called back to inform the APSS technician that the dog is normal and urinated normally. The APSS technician recommended the owner continue to monitor at home and to call back with questions if any more signs develop.
