(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On November 19, 2011, just after the owner applied the product to the cat, the owner noticed that cat was agitated and had an absent pupillary light reflex. A couple of hours later, the owner noticed that the cat had skin that was warm to the touch and erythema all over her body. The owner rinsed the cat's coat and skin three times that day. On the morning of November 20, 2011 the owner noticed that the signs had ended and the cat had fully recovered. On November 21, 2011 the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) to obtain help. The APSS veterinarian stated that the ingredient in the product has a wide margin of safety in cats and that dermal reactions could be seen in sensitive individuals, but those reactions are generally limited to the site of application. The APSS veterinarian also stated that an abnormal pupillary light reflex would not be expected from the use of the product. The APSS assistant recommended that the owner monitor the cat at home, consult with a veterinarian, and have the veterinarian call for information.
