(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On April 18, 2010 the owner noticed the dog was very thirsty. On April 19, 2010 the owner noticed the dog was shaking his head, scratching at the application site, felt warm to the touch, and had a hot spot on the left side of his face. On April 21, 2010 the owner took the dog to the veterinarian, where the attending veterinarian prescribed Clavaseptin, Prednisone, and Topagen. On April, 2010 the APSS veterinarian stated dogs tolerate pyrethroids well and no life threatening signs are expected. The APSS veterinarian also stated that pyrethroids can cause a pins and needles sensation or hyperesthesia. The APSS veterinarian recommended monitoring the dog at home, calling back with questions, calling the veterinarian to discuss alternative flea preventions, and calling the manufacturer to discuss his reimbursement concerns.
Moderate
On April 26, 2010 the owner called the APSS to return our follow up call. The owner stated the dog had improved, but is not back to normal yet. He also stated he is still giving the dog the medications and will continue doing so for a week, then go back to the attending veterinarian for a recheck.
