(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms

1-15996815: The reporter called on 4/9/08 to report his 1 year male dog started shaking its head sometime after the reporter applied a topical flea and tick product containing the active ingredient Methoprene and Permethrin. The product was applied 4/8/08 and sometime during the night the dog began to shake its head. The reporter stated that the dog was now consistently shaking its head but was otherwise normal. He was wondering if the symptom was related to using the product. The safety profile of the product was discussed. It was recommended that, if the reporter was at all concerned, the dog should be bathed in mild, non-insecticidal shampoo to remove the product. Advice was also given regarding keeping the dog warm after the bath until it dried, and to seek veterinary care if the symptom continued. A follow-up call on 4/11 was attempted several times but no contact could be established as the given phone number was incorrect.
