(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On October 1, 2010 the dog developed symptoms, so the owner bathed the dog with shampoo. The owner then contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The APSS veterinarian stated ataxia and falling over are not expected. The APSS assistant relayed the APSS veterinarian's recommendations to take the dog to the veterinarian, have the veterinarian call for information, call back with questions, and call the manufacturer to discuss efficacy questions.
Moderate
On October 5, 2010 an APSS assistant called the owner to follow up the case. The owner stated that she had taken the dog to the vet, but didn't stay and he didn't receive treatment. The owner instead, monitored the dog at home on October 1, 2010. The APSS assistant relayed the APSS veterinarian's recommendations to bathe the dog with liquid dish washing detergent (LDWD), apply vitamin E, call back with questions. On October 7, 2010 an APSS assistant called the owner to follow up the case. The owner stated the dog's skin is showing improvement, but still seems to have pruritus. The APSS assistant relayed the APSS veterinarian's recommendations to take the dog into the veterinarian if he did not show signs of improvement, rather than waiting until the weekend.
