(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
The APSS veterinarian stated the main concern is for gastrointestinal (GI) upset, a taste reaction, and dermal hypersensitivity with this exposure. She also stated that generally flea collars used appropriately are fairly safe, but if the cat licks at the collar dust or collar, it is possible to see a taste reaction and GI upset. She further stated that the signs could be due to flea bite anemia. The APSS technician relayed the APSS veterinarian's recommendations to the owner; rub a small amount of Karo syrup on the gums in case the kitten is hypoglycemic, take the kitten to a veterinarian for evaluation, have the veterinarian call back for information, and call back with questions.
