(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On September 23, 2011 the owner noticed the cat was drooling and agitated shortly after the product was applied, and both of these were isolated events. On September 28, 2011 the owner noticed the cat was moderately inappetent and had severe vomiting. Between October 3 and October 7, 2011 the owner noticed the cat had icterus. Between October 11 and October 13, 2011 the owner noticed that the cat was severely inappetent and was no longer eating, and on October 12, 2011 the owner observed the cat was no longer vomiting. Between October 11 and October 15, 2011, the owner noticed the cat's icterus was worse. On October 14, 2011 the owner took the cat to the veterinarian, where 1 milliliter (mL) of Clavamox was prescribed to be given twice daily, the cat was given nutritional support because the owner had had to force feed the cat, and the cat was given fluids to treat its symptoms. Later that morning, the cat was observed to be in hepatic failure. On October 17, 2011 the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) to obtain help. The APSS assistant recommended that the owner have his regular veterinarian call for information.
