(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On November 1, 2009 the owner noticed the dog was anorexic, hiding, and trembling. She bathed the dog four times with baby shampoo that day. On November 3, the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The APSS veterinarian recommended the owner take the dog to the veterinarian, have the veterinarian call for information, and call back with questions. On November 4, 2009 the regular veterinarian called and spoke with an APSS veterinarian regarding the supportive care the dog was receiving. The regular veterinarian indicated that the dog does have "horrendous teeth" which could account for the anorexia. She also thinks dog might be a bit neurologic in the hind legs , but owner says dog has always been that way. On November 9, 2009 the owner called APSS to report that the dog was found dead. She also mentioned that the dog had been severely lethargic on November 8, 2009. The APSS veterinarian recommended the owner take the dog to the regular veterinarian and have the veterinarian call for necropsy information. On November 9, 2009 the veterinary clinic staff contacted APSS to discuss the necropsy.
Death
Necropsy results are pending.
