(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On September 11, 2011, shortly after applying the product, the owner noticed the cat was symptomatic. Shortly after noticing the signs, the owner rinsed the cat's mouth. A few minutes later, the owner observed that the cat was no longer drooling. The owner then called the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) to obtain help. The APSS veterinarian stated that the main concern was for gastrointestinal (GI) upset, a taste reaction. The APSS assistant recommended that the owner monitor the cat for central nervous system (CNS) signs, bathe the cat with liquid dish washing detergent (LDWD) if the head and paw shaking persisted, and call back with questions.
Minor
On the evening of September 11, 2011 the owner's friend contacted the APSS to update the case. The owner's friend stated that at an unknown time the cat had been bathed twice and was given a taste treat, and that the cat continued to have fits of drooling. The APSS veterinarian recommended that the owner provide another taste treat and ventilate the area in case the smell of the product was bothering the cat. A follow up was not performed, because signs were expected to be mild and self-limiting. Therefore, the outcome of this case is unknown.
