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

On May 29, 2011, the owner noticed the cat groomed some of the product off herself and shortly after started hypersalivating. The owner then provided the cat with some water and rinsed her fur with soapy water, since she was unable to fully bathe the cat. The hypersalivation then resolved. Later that day, the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). The APSS technician stated this sounds like a mild bad taste reaction, nothing more anticipated. The APSS assistant relayed the APSS technician's recommendations to provide a taste treat (such as milk or tuna juice) and call back with questions.
