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

On April 12, 2010 the owner took the dog to the veterinarian, where they bathed the dog and administered methocarbamol. On April 13, 2010 there was a change to the dog's symptoms, so the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The APSS veterinarian stated that signs should be self limiting. The APSS veterinarian recommended bathing the dog with liquid dish washing detergent (LDWD), applying Vitamin E at the application site once the dog is mostly dry, monitoring at home, and calling back with questions.
