On March 12, 2010 the owner noticed the dog's behavior had changed, and on March 13, 2010 the dog was laying around. The owner took the dog to the veterinarian where they gave subcutaneous fluids and sent the dog home with instructions for the owner to bathe the dog and then give the oral antibiotics. On March 13, 2010 the APSS veterinarian stated we normally would not expect to see anything beyond a dermal hypersensitivity reaction with this exposure.
