(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On November 3, 2011 the owner noticed the cat was symptomatic. Later that morning, the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) to obtain help. The APSS technician stated that the risk was for dermal hypersensitivity and gastrointestinal (GI) upset/taste reaction with an oral exposure. The APSS technician recommended that the owner monitor the cat at home for GI signs and to call back if signs were more than mild; manage any vomiting by giving nothing by mouth for 1 hour and then gradually introducing water and food; give a taste treat of 1 teaspoon of low fat milk, tuna, or canned food; and call back with questions. During the consultation with the APSS technician, the owner reported that the cat had fully recovered.
