On May 12, 2008 an APSS assistant called the clinic to update the clinic. Per vet staff, they instructed the owner to bathe the dog at home, apply vitamin E to the application site, and call them back. On the same day, the owner followed these instructions. When she called the clinic back she stated that the first bath seemed to provide some relief, but the application of the vitamin E caused the signs to appear again. The owner re-bathed the dog, but has not called the clinic back since then.
