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

On August 23, 2009, the owner took the dog to the veterinarian. The veterinarian treated the dog with diphenhydramine, a corticosteroid, and an antibiotic. The APSS technician stated that dermal hypersensitivity may be seen with this exposure, but those signs would be expected to be mild and self-limiting. The APSS technician suspected that the signs could be the result of an insect bite or sting as an allergic reaction to the product would be unlikely. She recommended that the pet owner bathe the dog with liquid dish soap.
