(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On July 8, 2010 the cat began the seize in the early morning, so the owner called an emergency clinic, but could not afford treatment, so she brought the cat to a regular veterinarian before the veterinarian got in and refused to leave the cat at the clinic. The attending veterinary clinic contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) to discuss the case before the owner brought the cat back into the clinic. The APSS veterinarian recommended the attending clinic manage the cat's seizures by giving methocarbamol and diazepam, monitoring the cat's body temperature, and giving symptomatic and supportive care, by giving fluid therapy. The APSS veterinarian also recommended obtaining additional information about the pet and calling back with questions.
Death
On July 13, 2010 an APSS technician contacted the attending veterinary clinic to follow up the case. The attending veterinary technician stated the owner called the clinic back later to cancel the appointment on July 8, 2010 because the pet had died.
