(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On November 7, 2012 the owner noticed that the dog was symptomatic. Later that morning, the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) to obtain help. The APSS veterinarian stated that normally the product would be well tolerated, and that the owner might be seeing a mild taste reaction if the dog licked some of the product from his fur. The APSS veterinarian also stated that blinking would not be expected unless the product had been sprayed into the air in front of the dog's face and settled into the dog's eye. The APSS assistant recommended that the owner give the dog a taste treat of 2 tablespoons of milk, take the dog to the veterinarian if signs persisted, have the veterinarian call for information, call back with questions, and call back with the agent information when she got home.
Death
The APSS veterinarian stated that the substance was not considered to be related to causing the clinical situation. On November 12, 2012 an APSS assistant called the owner to update the case. The owner stated that the dog died on November 10, 2012 and that on an unknown date the dog was seen by a neurologist, who suspected that the dog had meningitis. The APSS veterinarian stated that meningitis was considered to have a medium likelihood of causing the clinical situation, based on the owner's neurologist's diagnosis. A necropsy was not available.
