(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On August 20, 2012, shortly after the cat was sprayed with the product, the owner noticed that the cat was drooling. The owner immediately contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) to obtain help, and she noticed that the cat was also vomiting and hiding. The APSS veterinarian stated that the product can cause a taste reaction with hypersalivation or gagging if the product was groomed off of the fur, and the ingredients in the product can cause mild dermal irritation. The APSS veterinarian also stated that some animals react by becoming lethargic, hiding, or potentially becoming hyperactive, and that signs may last up to 24 to 72 hours. The APSS veterinarian recommended that the owner give the cat a taste treat of milk, canned tuna, or wet cat food; rinse the cat's mouth if she was still vomiting; bathe the cat with liquid dish washing detergent (LDWD); and call back with questions.
