(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On April 24, 2012 the owner noticed that the dog had pruritus shortly after the product had been applied. On April 25, 2012 the owner bathed the dog with an aloe and oatmeal shampoo for dogs. Later that morning, a person from the feed store where the owner had purchased the product contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) to obtain help. The APSS technician stated that some animals are more sensitive to the ingredients in the product and can experience a dermal reaction. The APSS assistant recommended that the caller obtain additional information and that the owner bathe the dog with liquid dish washing detergent (LDWD) and apply a cold compress to the dog.
Minor
A short time later on the morning of April 25, 2012 the owner contacted an APSS technician to update the case. The owner stated that on April 24, 2012, in addition to having pruritus, the dog also had erythema and was agitated, chasing his tail, and rubbing the application site. The APSS technician recommended that the owner apply vitamin E to the application area, monitor the dog for dermatological signs of redness and irritation, and call back with questions. A follow up was not performed, because signs were expected to be mild and self-limiting. Therefore, the outcome of this case is unknown.
