(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On October 7, 2011, shortly after the owner placed the flea and tick collar on the cat, the owner noticed that the cat was lethargic. Later that day, the owner called her veterinarian about the product usage. On October 8, 2011 the owner removed the collar. On October 9, 2011 the owner put the collar back on the cat. On October 12, 2011 the owner observed that the cat had made a full recovery. On December 8, 2011 the owner contacted the company to obtain help. The company's veterinarian stated that with dermal use of the product, there is a wide margin of safety, and that mild dermal irritation, hair loss, or discoloration of the coat could be seen. The call center staff recommended that the owner call the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) with questions, but the owner declined.
