(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On July 3, 2012 the owner noticed that the cat was symptomatic. On July 6, 2012 the owner applied a neomycin polymyxin B and bacitracin ointment to the cat. On July 7, 2012 the cat was no longer anorexic, but the other symptoms persisted. On July 10, 2012 the owner applied a cold compress to the cat. A short time later, the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) to obtain help. The APSS veterinarian stated that dermal signs could be seen and that in response to the skin sensation caused by dermal application. The APSS assistant told the owner that the cat's reaction was more than what would be expected from the product and recommended that the owner take the cat to the veterinarian for further evaluation and call back with questions.
Minor
On July 12, 2012 an APSS assistant called the owner to update the case. The owner stated that she was not able to take the cat to the veterinarian and that the cat's condition was improving. The owner said that the cat was no longer hiding on July 10, 2012 and he was no longer vocalizing on the morning of July 12, 2012. Per the owner, the cat still had erythema and sores. The APSS assistant reiterated that the owner should take the dog to the veterinarian if possible.
